    I’ve seen Saudi, Air India, a Russian and an Israeli airline using Dublin airport unexpectedly, according to the departures and arrivals listed on its own app...

    Anyone know what’s going on?

    Probably cargo not passenger. We make a lot of medical and pharma **** that's in demand these days.

    Repatriation flights generally.

    Global pandemic. Seismic drop in air traffic.

    Nations using home airlines to repatriate their citizens and/or fly out non nationals.
    Cargo flights due to vast reduction in commercial underbelly capacity

    Yes I saw something today actually saying the Air India plane was for repatriation

    I guess as others have said that the others are either cargo or repatriation too

    That was all I was wondering about
