Dublin Airport remains green instead of the usual blue this week following St. Patrick’s weekend.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but i much prefer the green colour rather than the pretty dull blue, whats your opinion?👀

🚨Possible Emergency🚨
FR670 has just informed ATC that they heard a “Loud Bang” just after takeoff.
Pilots also received a warning light, but I’m unsure what the warning is.
The aircraft is now returning to Dublin.

It’s the moment we (Or at least myself) have been waiting for.
Storm Kathleen will bring crosswinds of up to about 50kmh gusting 90kmh at

Absolutely flew through security (pun intended 🫣)
I got to use the new Body and Bag scanners, which means jumpers can stay on and bags and liquids don’t need to be separated!
Lovely stuff as per usual

Shannon Airport have CLOSED to diversions.
Any diversions must go to Belfast Aldergrove, Cork Or Liverpool.
Manchester airport is only accepting “Fuel and go” flights, meaning aircraft that divert there must leave ASAP.
