Shannon Airport Thread [Mod Warning in First Post]

Clareman

This thread is to discuss all things Shannon Airport related.

Warning, any back biting, regional nonsense, trolling, baiting or back seat modding will lead to bans.

It's also important to remember than that this thread is in a regional forum, not the Aviation forum, if you want to get into details on Aviation, go to that forum. Finally, this is the Clare forum, there will be a bias towards Clare in here, so expect folk to want to defend their county .

I doubt the existence of shannon has ever saved many lives. Dublin cork and knock are not much further.

If a person gets into difficulty 3 hours out another 20 minutes will hardly matter.

Well you would be wrong.

I'm not sure that airlines choose their destinations based on how many times they've diverted there!

Airlines just want to make money and if they can get routes that make more money they will set them up

Cargo jet diverts to Shannon with engine problem (Clare Herald)

A cargo jet has made an emergency landing at Shannon Airport after the crew was forced to shut down one of the aircraft’s engines over the Atlantic.

United Parcel Service (UPS) cargo flight UPS-209 was travelling from Philadelphia in the US to Cologne in Germany when the crew declared an emergency. There were three crew members on board.

Shortly before 10.00am, the crew of the twin-engine Boeing 767-300 freighter contacted air traffic controllers to advise they had a problem with their right engine and had shut it down. The crew also told controllers that they would require airport crash crews to be standing by for them when they landed.

Wow looks that way. Got to go JFK to get to Boston for a few weeks. Talking with someone working at Edwards Lifesciences. Settling for the main facility to be located in Limerick, left them 20 mins closer to Cork and Dublin for necessary travel.

It was really good. I think the students from the college did their training there. If you could get in there, it was a treat.

Delta Air Lines flight DL-35 was travelling from Paris to Seattle in the US at the time.

The Boeing 767-300 jet was routing overhead the Irish Sea when the crew advised air traffic controllers that they required to divert reporting a “technical issue” (Water System).

I saw it coming in ... wondered what was up ... mucho gracias ....
