Sure is. All flights for DUB have been pushed into a hold. ATC explaining why and saying to aircraft to expect three turns in the hold.


Known as "The Azores Glider" apparently.

Seems this aircraft has a bit of interesting history.

Look up Air Transat flight 236 (can't post links)

A Ryanair looking to make a diversion I think

bronn

From the plane. Smoke in the cabin has dissipated. Smell too. But they're coming in heavy and will stop on the runway for fire crews.

ET: Down safe. Fire crews inspecting now.

12 waiting to land, some in hold for a long time now.

Azores Glider, What a plane, that was one of the first air crash investigation episodes I ever saw. That and the Gimli Glider episode are great! Glad they got down safe!

With so many in the hold I'm surprised there's no diversions yet.

Edit : Spoke too soon.

Why would they choose to go to Liverpool instead of Shannon or Cork?
