Ringy Rose Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 20 hours ago, NoTailT said: Aircraft - including the ATR I believe - have anti-icing functions. It may have been a simple technical problem with the aircraft that this wasn't functioning properly or a false warning was prompted in the cockpit for icing. Given the ATR72's history of crashes due to icing issues, this is likely to be the reason. 13 hours ago, John Wright said: Not really. My contract is with LoganAir. Who they subcontract Check-In and baggage handling is their responsibility. It’s the airline that’s responsible for any compensation. With barcoded luggage tags it’s a rare thing. But both airline and handlers should be much more proactive when it does happen. Communication needs to be improved. It's not that rare coming out of Manchester. It's less of a shitshow than it was in the summer, but it's still a shitshow. As for Menzies on the island, they're as helpful as they can be. It happened to me in the summer. After my bag's two week holiday in Ringway in May, they had it sent on to me in a taxi when it finally arrived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know they operate the lounge at the airport ..And I have not seen it open even once in the last few months . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the joys of no spare aircraft or crews. At least they're making the effort to get people where they need to be for new years. Ball of fun mixing two loads on to one aircraft. People moaning 'but I paid for my seat!'. Also shows how poor Loganairs loads are at what should be a prime travel day.

Is there such thing as a based aircraft when they rotate them so often and why is a 'based' aircraft even in Derry?
