The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at London City Airport (EGLC), where the aircraft, an Airbus A318, took off with a takeoff distance of 999 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 179 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed out of London City Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,882 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The climb started from an initial altitude of 1,023 feet above sea level. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying at a steady altitude for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles, before beginning its descent.

The descent started 20 miles northwest of Saint Davids, Wales, and took the aircraft down from an altitude of 34,269 feet above sea level to 3,421 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,847 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at a steady altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent.

The final descent started 1 mile east of Glin, Ireland, and took the aircraft down from an altitude of 3,083 feet above sea level to 1,320 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,763 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at Shannon Airport (EINN), flying from the southwest at a heading of 53.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level.

The aircraft landed on runway 06 at Shannon Airport, which has a length of 3,048 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 290 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 146 knots, resulting in a very heavy touchdown rate of -715 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 17 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 366 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 74 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -4,213 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
