I think you're right. The report said they are out of position. It didn't say where they are but it seemed that they were in a number of places none of which is Heathrow.

Yeah, it was seventeen out of position. Don't think the fine folks at LHR would allow EI to park that many of their aircraft at once...

4x EI's and 3x FR's making their way from Cork to Dublin.
2x EI's and 1x FR's making their way from Shannon to Dublin.

Many EI's over Northsea and London direction Dublin.
FR's over Benelux and Southern England, most on their way back to Dublin.

All Ryanair, Aer Lingus and Aer Arann flights cancelled for the rest of the day as DAA can't confirm if the airport will reopen tonight.

All Aer Lingus US flights due to arrive in the morning are all cancelled except one flight from New York due at 05:15.

Tomorrow

I see, EI have been quick off the mark and putting up the cancelled flag. Anyone know FR's plan?
Will the early morning's be cancelled or delayed?

Regards
Shamrogue

Latest I have heard is:

FR asking that only pax with confirmed bookings for flights after 8am should present themselves at DUB.

EI "hiring in larger aircraft" to clear backlog and putting on some extra flights. Subject to weather.

Dont all shoot me down lads when I ask this but have the problems at DUB been just the weather, lack of equipment at Dublin, lack of investment at Dublin by whomever or bad management of the above. Or just a combination off all of the above or none of the above??

Quite simply - the weather. The ground crews at DUB have done a fantastic job in getting the airport operational so quickly again.

LHR had 10.7CM of snowfall, DUB has had at least double this amount and still managed to only have the airport non operational for a relatively short period of time.

The snowfall in the greater Dublin area yesterday was unprecendented and has approached 1982 levels in several areas. How often do we get a shallow area of LP on the Irish Sea driving continuous, heavy snow streamers downwind from the Isle of Man onshore across the general East for more than 12 hours?

The crews at DUB have coped remarkably well, given the dry compacted nature of this snowfall and the fact that we are seeing a prolonged weather event that is at the very least a one in fifty year event, but more likely leaning towards one in seventy five years in terms of extremes.
