    Maybe they would have used the roads, but you know... what with the bus strike and all..

    Airplanes are capitalising on the bus strikes.

    Most likely. Winds are southerly at the moment which would be a direct cross wind for the main runway. They're probably taking off southbound and heading out over the bay.

    In aviation terms it has four, although physically there are two. The one most used is the longer one running from east to west, which is runway 28 if you're taking off/landing towards the west. If you're landing on the same stretch of pavement but in an easterly direction, you're landing on runway 10.

    Likewise, the shorter north-south(ish) runway is 16 if you're taking off or landing while pointed at Dublin city centre, or runway 34 if you're pointed towards Derry. :)

    Runway numbers are decided by their orientation on the compass. The compass direction is rounded up or down to the nearest 10 and then the zero is dropped. Runway 28, for example, points in the direction of 283 degrees (magnetic). That number is rounded to 280 and the the zero is dropped, giving 28.

    Before I learned all that myself a long time ago I did wonder how Dublin could possibly have 28 runways... :)
