The flight delays that started on Wednesday are still continuing at the International Airport of Dublin, though the conditions are not so severe as they were when initially the air traffic control radar reported a problem.
According to the most recent statement issued by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), the operational capacity of the airport has risen to 80 percent. This situation means that the air traffic control might be able dealing with the demand of the times during most part of the day and that delays are most likely to occur at peak times.
Most notably, a greater number of delays during these days have been reduced to 15-45 minutes. However, Ryanair flight flying from Venice faced a delay of more than an hour. Over and above, even flights from several other destinations like Atlanta, Berlin, Brussels, Cardiff, Copenhagen, Exeter, Frankfurt, Prague and Paris faced considerable delays.
The information screens of the airport displayed delays of 15-60 minutes on over a dozen flights through mid-day. However, two significant delays are notable. A flight departing to Orlando was delayed by more than six hours. In addition, a flight to Gdansk, Poland was delayed for more than four hours.
The scheduled departure of Flybe to Exeter on BE304 showed a delay of about two and a half hours as seen on the information board. However, other than the significant instances of these delays, the conditions at the airport are seen to improve gradually.
