Aer Lingus flight EI-401 was travelling from Rome’s Fiumicino airport to Dublin
A passenger flight from Italy to Ireland was forced to divert to Shannon Airport this morning after the crew reported a mechanical issue with their aircraft.The Airbus A320-200 jet was crossing St George’s Channel between Wales and Ireland when the crew rerouted to Shannon. The crew had issued a pan-pan radio call confirming they had an issue with their aircraft’s hydraulic systems. A pan-pan indicates “urgency” on board but is not as serious as a may-day.
Kneecap: ‘Paul Mescal was flirting with us. He was wearing Adidas shorts, not GAA shorts. It’s all a farce’On the ground at Shannon, the airport’s own fire and rescue service was alerted and crews mobilised to holding positions adjacent to the runway ahead of the jet’s arrival. The aircraft landed safely at 9.46am. It was unable to vacate the runway under its own power. A tug was dispatched to tow it clear of the runway.
