Using call sign EAII44P. It wasn't on the ground long (28 minutes according to FR24), so I wonder if it's brought in engineers, spares or both. EI-FAT seems to have been on the ground at LBA for a long time. If it needed specialist attention, I would have expected it to arrive earlier.

EI-FAT(Emerald 041P) taxiing for depparture 1610

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Maybe, EI-GPP just brought in a crew for EI-FAT.

 

[Easy289]

EI-FAT. A heavy at last for LBA!

 

[twevsmiff]

EI-FAT has flown all the way to Exeter at 8000' so obviously going to get a pressuization problem fixed.

 

[EX9]

It suffered a tail strike upon landing last week.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

It suffered a tail strike upon landing last week.

How did they manage that?

 

[Finger66]

You would think there was “FAT” chance of that happening!

 

[EX9]

How did they manage that?

I don't know the specifics unfortunately.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

I don't know the specifics unfortunately.

Must have been an extreme circumstance to strike the tail on landing.

Another airline realising the LBA potential

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Good that it’s ATR aircraft. Whilst I think they would be able to hold their own against Ryanair’s Dublin flights, I like the fact it’s niche and going for connecting traffic. Fingers crossed eventually we’ll get a jet aircraft. And hopefully a night stopper!

Emerald is to begin Cork - Bristol shortly. That would be a welcome addition to the Leeds Bradford route network.

 

[Easy289]

Didn't Aer Arran used to operate LBA ORK?

 

[White Heather]

Didn't Aer Arran used to operate LBA ORK?

So did BMi.

Dublin increased to 14X Weekly with an extra flight on Sunday

11:55 EI3393 DUB / 11:30 EI3392 DUB

Good news of course, but the ATR's aren't best suited to operations from Leeds. When connections are involved its important that more capable aircraft are used i.e one that is good in crosswinds and bad viz. Preferably a jet.

 

[Finger66]

I think with EI marketing an LBA-ORK route would fair much better than Aer Arran or BMI managed. We can but hope.........

 

[KARFA]

There was an EI route to ORK a few years ago. It was dropped due to poor performance.

New routes are launched from Cork Airport to UK | The Southern Star
