    If only it was a Ryanair that diverted.

    "Dear passengers, we will be landing at Dublin-Shannon airport soon."

    That is really bad.

    Someone should contact a paper.

    "No Ambulance available after Medical Emergency Scare on Aer Lingus flight"

    I wouldn't be surprised if journos read this forum for stuff like that every now and again. I doubt they'll be on this thread though.

    This thread is their most valuable thread! All emergencies and incidents are described, often in detail on here.

    Sure I even give them their headlines!

    It does perhaps sound like something that might, might, warrant journalist attention depending on the actual circumstances. They report a load of toss anyway.

    If I wanted to run any local event I wouldnt be allowed to start said event without a ambulance in place.

    But these guys can Fly+Land jets etc?

    I assumed that airports just phoned up the ambulance as anyone would and let them in :o I can understand having fire cover on sight, obviously, but wasn't aware of the ambulances.

    I think every airport should have an ambulance on site, even Waterford with 3/4 flights a week.

    There's only 2 ambo's in DUB airport, most of the fire personnel are EMT trained, one of them will go to the aircraft whilst waiting on DFB, not unusual for the 2 ambo's to be out on call on a busy night with approx 14,000 (not all on duty at once) staff and then pax also.

    Maybe there was only one (it's midnight) and they didn't want it going to a hospital.

    Ambulance was called from Swords when needed, should have already been there in my opinion.

    I think airports effects on economies are often underestimated. Having a hub airport has a large effect on a city. Dublin airport employs almost 1% of Dublin's population.
