Polish charter operator Enter Air operated two rotations between Ireland West Airport Knock and Lourdes on 28 August, carrying pilgrimage groups from the dioceses of Achonry and Elphin on behalf of Irish tour operator Joe Walsh Tours (JWT).
The flights were operated by Boeing 737-8AS SP-ENT (MSN 29926), an aircraft with a Irish operating history. According to Planespotters.net website the 737 previously flew with Ryanair as EI-CSM from December 2000 until December 2008.
The aircraft was ferried from Shannon to Cairo and onward to Delhi on 23–24 March 2011 ahead of delivery to Indian carrier SpiceJet, where it was registered VT-SGO and was leased to Enter Air by Dublin based aircraft lessor Avolon from April 2017.
