Comments
The C-27J was the first of the type to visit Dublin. It arrived from Malacky Air Base to do a repatriation flight for Slovakian citizens.
The ex-Qatar A330 is now wearing its Irish registration and is expected to enter service with Aer Lingus shortly.  Virgin, United & American were all operating cargo-only flights.  Alas, for most spotters the opportunity to see any of these aircraft remains very limited due to the current 5km from home travel restrictions.  Hopefully, these measures will soon be relaxed and normal life of a sort will return. Let's be careful out there!
