I also count the other Airlines like Qatar and Ethiopian. Edelweiss only has 3 A340s since January and at any time you can see like 1-4 A340s just parked on the New Whiskey or Maintenance Stands… Currently there are 7 A340 and 7 A350 registered in Switzerland…
It’s such a good airport that would benefit from an upgrade soon. But there’s definitely others that are in a much worse position. But LEJ being one of my favourite airports I think a remodel would do it justice :).
Went to Dublin Airport Mound located on the South Runway of DUB today. I took many but I took the best bits into here while I stayed there for 4 hours, one aircraft did a touch and go (though I wasn’t really able to catch it on camera) The Mound is often chaotic as many took dangerous moves as there is no footpath with many crossing the roads while vehicle are moving, many also went to the back onto the field behind which is actually tresspassing but no one even cared about it (not even airport security or the guards even cared about it). I also love the fact that a truck driver blowed the horn while in traffic

They are, but its often very chaotic with people walking dangerously close near the road (both because there is no footpath and because the car park is quite narrow near the main roads and especially the fact that Buses and Trucks often pass here) a extremely high risk of slipping when going up and down the hill and the fact that its very easy to tresspass onto the field behind the hill. That is why I honestly cannot wait for the new Mound to be constructed as it will fix most of the issues.
I’ll see in the future if i could catch the aircraft taking off on this runway if possible or even try the North Runway viewpoint or Keelings Farm shop as they have a cafe that sells tasty snacks. It certainly was nice to visit the mound after 3 years!
