DERRY/LONDONDERRY

Correct Gazmo

They actually flew off with luggage still in the hold from the inbound flight.

It's like a comedy show.

It could only happen in Derry!!!....shouldn't laugh but it is like a comedy show.......unload the luggage then upload the new luggage......not difficult

I'm sure there are a few red faces at LDY.

Wonder if all the luggage arrived in Alicante?

[Solar]

Certainly doesn't look smart for the airport or Ryanair but there is always the much trumpeted fast turn around that MoL 'encourages" his crews to consider so it may not be entirely CoDA's fault after all they do what the flight crew ask.

Mind you, you would expect that arriving passengers would have some luggage to unload and that someone on the ground would have noticed sooner.

[GAZMO]

Reminds me of the time flying to EDI from BFS and had a very long wait on luggage. Then the announcement that the luggage had been sent to international arrivals!!!!!!

[Solar]

GAZMO
Exactly what happened to me in Heathrow on the 30th June, BFS/LHR and bags in international baggage claim, just under an hour to get them and left it very tight for my connecting flight.

As long as the plane landed at the right airport.

Last Faro flight went tonight and last Alicante goes tomorrow.

it's going to be a very quiet summer.

They actually flew off with luggage still in the hold from the inbound flight.

On a serous note the aircraft would have been heavier than the Captain thought as the load sheet would have been incorrect. This could have affected the take off performance.

Makes you wonder how this could happen at an airport where this was probably the only aircraft being unloaded for several hours.

It should be easy for the council to get the money invested in the airport back. The government has listed airports as "brown field sites" and can be built on without the need for planning permission.

August is an improvement on this year which was only June and July.

ALC is not bookable yet but is still listed as a destination. It was like that last year for a while so hopefully it is not significant.

Anyone know the reason for the approx 6 hour delay for the Stansted departure today?

Got in to Derry ontime ok.

[Solar]

Anybody aware if any Derry flights affected by the recycling plant fire?

[cuthere]

Hi Solar,

Nope, the airport tweeted to say the fire hadn't impacted them.

Cheers.

Wasn't the Citywing service to Dublin supposed to have started in October? Or was all that scrapped?
