Iberia grounded at DUB?
 

Heard a rumour that today's DUB/MAD was cancelled due to being grounded following a SAFA inspection. Also heard there were a group of journalists guest of Iberia on board. Anyone shed any light?

The flight has been canceled and it is due to depart DUB at 08:15am and arrive into MAD at 11:45 on (15 Oct).

I had a SAFA at DUB last year. The gentlemen were very polite and very very thorough (even asked to see the ECAM RCL page to compare against the Tech log to ensure there weren't any new defects not written up). If you're not squeaky clean (thankfully we were) then you're not going anywhere.

Good to see the IAA are working well, Its usually a few on hear saying the only reason there are so many EI reg aircraft around the world is because the IAA dont do checks. Not because Ireland have most of the aircraft leasing companies in the world.
