Air traffic control Dublin Airport

The biggest problem this morning is aircraft in the wrong place.

Storm Isha on Sunday caused the biggest disruption of flights at Dublin Airport since The Beast from the east caused the airport to close on February 28 2028.

A flight from Shannon to Edinburgh ended up in Cologne. One from Manchester to Dublin diverted to Paris. Another from Lanzarote to Dublin returned to Bordeaux. A Lufthansa fight grazed the airport, turned around and returned to Frankfurt  A Jet2 ski charter from Plovdid to Belfast declared a fuel emergency and diverted to Manchester.  During the day at Dublin airport there were:

  • 166 flights cancelled overall
  • 72 departures
  • 94 arrivals
  • 34 go arounds
