Any idea of the load factor on the eastbound daytime JFK/DUB?

[ia350]

Yep , their going to buy 767s in a while so will do an upgrade when they arrive .

owenc, yes, via St Johns. Service commenced last year and was extremely popular and was extended due to demand longer than initially planned. Resumed this summer, along with a new service from Halifax to Glasgow.

I think owen was referring to the Westjet flight skipping the stopover and coming direct from YYZ lastnight. It must have either been near empty or had serious tailwinds.

No not via st johns, I tracked it the whole way from Toronto to Dublin. They sent a 737-800 from St Johns.

Oh right, I see it now. Looks like the airborne time was only just over 6 hours so a decent tailwind. For a flight of this duration it most certainly wouldn't have to be near empty and could probably quite happily bring 150 pax.
Norwegian and Ryanair both fly sectors in excess of 6 hours from Scandinavia to the Canary Islands.

Just seen west jet after taking off from the Airport, very odd time .

They had two inbound (YYZ, YYT) flights today not sure why but yesterday YYT was cancelled and went via YHL so could brining passengers who were impacted. Why it spent 15 hours on the ground in DUB is another question.

[737aviator]

The crew probably had to go for 12 hours rest before the return flight due to the longer outbound sector. Normally a fresh crew takes over in St Johns and operate YYT-DUB-YYT.

[owenc]

What about the dayflight? Do they fly over and back?

Any particular reason why BA sent a 767 in this evening from LHR

Preparing for the future

Checked their schedule. Presently it looks like the morning arrival into DUB is an A332 and the afternoon arrival B77W - this is in September. From October it is back to A332 service?

It's all 332 until start of winter schedule (25 October) then morning arrival return's to B777.

Evening flight is a mix of A330/777 September/October. Morning flight mostly 777 from end of October. All subject to change, of course.

TOM flew in their latest 787 added to the fleet to launch their 2016 flights. Took some lucky people on a 2 h flight before returning.
