DUBLIN - 2

[stab3.5up]

So i guess the Air India talk was all a load of nonsence then!!! Whos next then to be using CBP. Cause really the entire airport is kinda scary its so dead and I see that shops etc closing hand over fist. The A pier coffee shop, Fat Face etc etc. Really not good at all for the staff in the airport, surely this must be as low as it goes.....

Knew somebody on EI flight LIN - DUB yesterday and an emergency was declared before it landed saftely. Was meet by fire engines. It was around lunch time when most arrivals were diverted and departures delayed because of cross winds.

EI told them no more about what happoned.

FCO DUB flight diverted to SNN first and eventually settled for ORK!

EK are asking all handlers to tender I presume and that includes EI. Also, they will need pax handling. They are not hiring checkin staff.

[DannyKelly22]

that explains why even before teh recruitment process was closed that my application was rejected then, cos i couldnt figure out why as i have the experience in working in the industry.

Has a Qatar airways A340-600 just been in DUB?

QR3002 looks like its come from DUB on FR24.

[NorthernCounties]

I noticed that too... but when I looked it had yet to reach Wales but was at circa 34k... so seems unlikely.

[delta154]

Just did a playback, and it did indeed come from DUB.

Its not a normal flight code, so, anyone know why it was there?

According to this thread it was in DUB for painting.

Does anyone know what the loads were like on Dublin - Tampere? And how Helsinki does?

[StephenM_SMC]

Don't have exact capacity numbers to hand but from FlightGlobal/Innovata its 2 per week and the CSO statistics show the following numbers for Helsinki so far this year:

Mar: 221
Apr: 2,240
May: 2,506
Jun: 2,346
July: 2,812

Edit: Not sure of the capacity this year so you can guess the loadfactor for yourself.

[NorthernCounties]

Thanks Stephen!

Based on those figures, and Aer Lingus operating on Tuesdays and Saturdays with a A320, I make the load factors:
APRIL - 71%
MAY - 80%
JUNE - 84%
JULY - 89%

Which aren't bad at all, would be interesting to know how October fairs.

[StephenM_SMC]

I had a quick look at Summer 2012's schedule and it looks like 3 per week (Tues, Thurs and Sat) so it may have been 3 this summer which trails off until November (1 per week this year).

[PPRuNeUser0176]

It was 2 per week this summer.

[NorthernCounties]

Good to see they are uping it the 3 per week next year! Hopefully we see similar lfs as well!
