Transatlantic Flight Diverts To Shannon After Technical Issue (Clare FM)

A transatlantic flight has been grounded at Shannon Airport and passengers sent to hotels for the night while airline engineers are flown in from the UK to carry out repairs.

Air Transat flight TS-700 diverted to Shannon this morning after the crew reported a technical issue.

The Airbus A310 jet was travelling from Montreal in Canada to Prague in the Czech Republic at the time. There were 201 passengers and crew on board.

Interesting IAC/Eirtech opening Northern Irish facility with substantial jobs announcement. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-44563979

A bit of a shame the huge hangar the Shannon group building for them will only see a fraction of that job creation

Your post is a bit misleading. Opening a second location in NI is not 'moving North'. You make it sound like they closing down in Shannon.

I don't think so, nothing listed as on the ground and American don't operate from Tel Aviv.

Medical emergency according to the Clare Herald.

The fact that public transport is now available from Stewart airport makes it a lot more attractive. Would still be inclined to travel with Aer Lingus or United though.

Often it's closed, but ask a member of staff and they open it.

LPL was new for June 2018, 26 flights operated with 4,914 seats on offer. This would represent a LF of 46.3%(not surprising given flight times, cant see this route returning next year unless flight times are changed) . MAN was upped to 6x weekly with 9,450 seats for June representing a LF of 73.9%.
