That sounds like it could have gotten quite serious. Presumably coming from a bottle in someone's carry-on in the overhead bins?

Mr Flynn is fairly assiduous in monitoring and filing reports on these incidents.

The Omni 772's last showing on Fr24 is the flight back to Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport, TX yesterday following its stand-in for Aer Lingus yesterday. It operated EI123 DUB-Chicago but for some reason the return EI122 was cancelled.

Might be worth keeping an eye out later on Fr24 to see if it's on its way to LAX for the return LAX-DUB. Reg is N828AX

Well, now, it is en route from Killeen to Shannon ETA 12.19. Flight No. OAE543. NOTE: NOT on EI Duty - see Aer Lingus Fleet Discussion thread

That information appears to have been gleaned from reading online forums and Facebook pages as I have seen somewhat similar wording on both.

I presume if it was an urgent emergency they would have landed at the closest suitable airport so flying three hours back to Dublin is hopefully just to minimise passenger inconvenience?

Considering it just flew back three hours over water, this is likely to be to suit airline operations rather than passengers. Probably could’ve gone on to LA.

Welcome to modern online journalism. They know no more than we do about it but they've managed to eek a story out of it.

It's just estimated. Aer Lingus have confirmed it diverting to Dublin.

is Flight radar wrong or has EI145 just turned back to heading West?

It’s wrong. It’s now out of coverage so it’s on an estimated track which will have picked up probably it’s LAX plan and is showing it westbound. It’s still returning.

roadmaster

That’s a long way out to turn back. Why would they not divert to airport in Canada or the eastern US would they not be closer?

Mebuntu

EI145 - The Aer Lingus website flight info page indicates Diverted to DUB, ETA 21.30 "next day".

EI145 has turned around over Greenland and seems to be returning to DUB

Aer Lingus 757 flew relatively low over Bray a few hours ago. According to FR24 it was flying Shannon to Boston, but it took direct route from Shannon to Dublin.

What was most likely? Heading to Dublin for maintenance?

EI-CJX is currently flying EI101 Dublin to Newark replacing one of the A330 fleet.

They often swap (or rotate) the 757's between Shannon and Dublin. Today, there is no flight to JFK from Shannon so the aircraft flew to Dublin instead. Could be minor maintenance, could be flying from Dublin today.
