First Choice i think based a 757 & A320 here last summer,Thomsonfly haven’t been here since they were britannia.Excel were last summer,but i’d love to see some Thomas Cook a/c,who have never been regulars.

To be honest with you it can be a little bit of anightmare sometimes especially when you got Mr High and mighty demanding to know where his bag is.

But I love my job I may not work for the most liked company in the airport but I couldnt see myself doing anything else.
Baggage tracing rules lol.

I have no idea where the other Eirjet has gone??? Last weekend they were again using a Transavia 737 and a Air Finland 757.

I only deal with loast baggage so flight delays are nothing to do with me.

Maybe the eirjet is still up in NI on a mission for the army uh oh.
re bags; Fair enough, still a living nightmare I’d say 😮

Also anybody know where the third eirjet is, I heard it could be working for TunisAir hence all the hire-ins..I could be very wrong.

PS Good Luck Shamrock321 for the summer, I don’t envy you 🙂

Yeah, I was in the EMA terminal last year and it was a mess, a Viking MD83 was having its engines taken to pieces with the passengers scattered everywhere. It looked in a real sorry state.

Mapjet are an Austrian charter airline with MD83s or similar based in Dublin for the summer. There is a severe shortage of charter aircraft again this year so the operators are taking anything they can get. A recipe for disaster so I guess all will be revealed in the weeks to come.

I was positioning to LPL this morning, the Thsomsonfly 737 positioned empty out to Gatwick at around 0800 local.

Don’t forget MapJet and JetX (Flightline?)..I feel a right mess is going to happen in DUB. Let’s have a bet on how many 24 hr delays there will be between May-Oct..I’m going for 12. My sympathy to all involved :).

Who are Mapjet? I thought JetX were one of the better MD83’s last year (compared to the Viking/Air Scandic aircraft anyway!). East Midlands are having the delight of one of those aircraft return, leased by Excel, operated by Viking, UKJet titles (which have no relevance!) Its going to end in tears!

Just on the point of Eirjet.

I see they have now updated their website. It includes a real flight arrrvals board, plus a full timetable of their flights from all airports.

A much better improvement from the previous single web page.

Also the Eirjet A320s were flying for themsleves today. Air Jamacia flew DUB-ACE-DUB this morning.

Got a shot of a Thomsonfly 737-800 in DUB last night, anyone know what it was there for? Was parked with the two EirJet A320s.

MYT DUB this year is a G- reg Airbus not a Skyservice one.

Edit: First couple of weeks maybe Canadian but then it should revert to G- reg MYT aircraft

Good stuff, it’s nice to see the IAA (Idiots Against Aviation) finally getting off their backsides.

MYT should be one of more the reliable charters this year so.

I’ve heard the IAA aren’t too impressed with FCA because the 757 is Canadian regd and crewed on the basis of a UK CAA validation. It was only supposed to be for one season but has turned into a regular thing..ditto with MYT-its actually SkyService.

Futura just put most of the the Ryan International aircraft on the EI- reg but this again is unlikely to be allowed to continue indefinately.

Don’t forget MapJet and JetX (Flightline?)..I feel a right mess is going to happen in DUB. Let’s have a bet on how many 24 hr delays there will be between May-Oct..I’m going for 12. My sympathy to all involved :).

I always thought Monarch based an A300/B757 there, or they at least rotated through a few times a week.
