Would anyone be able to tell me which airlines and how many aircraft are based/overnight at Dublin Airport during a regular weekday?

As for airlines there's obviously Aer Lingus A320/321's & a load of ryanair's.Other's that night stop would be aer arann,Bmi,Malev,LOT,Eirjet.Based aircraft would include air contractors A300F's & the odd ATR 42/72F,DHL & TNT both park aircraft up for the day.As for how many are actually on the ground,i'd say around 50 aircraft.

So how many would Aer Lingus and Ryanair each base? Surely there isn't sufficient airbridge-gates for 50 aircraft so which airlines would be remote-parked and on which stands?

All ryanair aircraft use pier A along with aer lingus aircraft that are flying Uk routes,there's no gates at pier A.I'd say there's less than 10 ryanair 737 overnighting.As for aer lingus,i'd say about 20 A320/321's overnight,only a handfull would be parked on stand,at pier B & one or two on pier C,cityjet also have a few 146's parked on the ramp overnight.I'm not sure of exact numbers/aircraft that are based :confused:

Well from working countless nights in DUB this is what is normally on the ground.

BMI-A321-There are 2 on a friday

Lufthansa-737-Will be an A319 in the summer

Malev-738/73G/736 or F70 it varies

CSA Czech-737-400 every night except saturday

LOT-Embraer 170

CityJet/Air France usualy 3 BAe 146s although can vary

Aer Arann usualy have 1 or 2 as most aircraft flying early morning flights from regional Irish airports that arrive into DUB at about 7am

Ryanir have 6/7 based 737-800s in DUB at the moment but again have early arrival between 0700-0730 from STN,LPL,PIK and EMA

Aer Lingus have about 20 overnights as the other A320/321 sleep in LHR,AMS,SNN and ORK.

Then you have the charter aircraft which usually sit idle from monday until thursday when they restart. At the moment there is usually a ZB 757 and an Eirjet A320 but it mighnt be in Eirjet colours as they lease equipment from all over the place.
