Anyone know what operated this route?
Seems a strange one to me.

EI109 arrived back into DUB this afternoon from JFK and running 5 hours late.

Omni operated for Aer Lingus again this evening with DC-10 N621AX (ex-Northwest) on flight EI109 DUB-JFK. An EI A330 is receiving attention in a hangar at Dublin.

Well its simple the dougy 10 is cheap there in good condition and ready to use now.
ATA has troop contracts with the US they use there tristars for them.
Just beacause an aircraft is old doesn’t mean it cant perform.
Could also be a connection in that ATA have just taken over World Airways, operator of DC-10’s and MD-11’s and also a military airlift contractor.

Why then did Northwest pension them off…because they were becoming too expensive to maintain

I take it those are ex Northwest planes…That was a big clue! and why would ATA take on thirty year old DC10’s when they have a very young modern fleet of aircraftDo they have any US trooping contracts?

Some friends of mine flew home from BOS yesterday and it was back to an A330.

Now i dont belive that statement for a second. yes the DC-10 has had its troubles but its also been one of the most reliable hard working airliners out there. NW never had a single accident with them and they used them for 30 years. Omni and now ATA are taking fresh DC-10s into the passenger role.

Are passengers still flying in the DC-10? Rather you than me, mate.
Spoke to an airline pilot recently about the DC-10, and he said “Don’t you mean the Death Craft Mark 10” !
Bri:diablo:
That’s very harsh don’t you think?….the much magligned ubiquitous DC10 suffered from a reputation that it truly didn’t deserve…i can’t believe any Commercial pilot would say that!

They used both DC-10s and 757 over the weekend.

Omni, not OMANI.
I noticed EIN990P routing BOS-STN this afternoon as a 757, Titan perhaps?
I do apologise.
Could have been one of Omnis 757s.
By: David2386 - 19th March 2007 at 21:03
Yeh ive heard mate. They may aswell just buy one of OMANI DC-10S at least they work!!

And your surprised?
Last summer they had countless tech problems with A330s and they are operating the daily to AGP this summer.

They had a A330 go tech in BOS towards the end of the week so they had the DC-10 and a 757 operating between DUB and BOS over the weekend.
A Omni DC-10 left DUB at about 11pm last night not to sure where it was heading.
Again!! thats got to be the 3rd time this year one of there A330S has gone tech stateside!!
