AA was heading from LHR to BOS

From @NWairspace
Dublin Airport has confirmed American Airlines 155 has landed safely after having declared an emergency en route to Boston from London

and @DublinAirport
Some aircraft diversions as a result of aircraft incident earlier. Passengers should contact their airline's website for a status update.

Sounds like a runway's been closed for inspections and they're inspecting where the aircraft is standing. AA's being told nothing to apologise for!

TheChizler · 03-08-2012, 22:51

10 aircraft in hold and runway 16 closed!

Not another terror alert, what now, did someone sneeze onboard and someone else thought the sneezer said bomb?

Hydraulic problems apparently! Runway back in service.

May I be the first to speculate.

Fuel/oil leak. It would explain the closed runway.

Problems with the nose steering.

It landed on 10. Runway 16 has just reopened following an inspection.

That's just a symptom of the initial hydraulics problem that caused them to divert

Saw about 8 making lovely circles over holyhead and liffy for about half an hour so I can't imagine O'Leary's a happy bunny.
