Just checking Shannon departures there have been no outward flights since ten, dont Aer Arann operate the flights for Aer Lingus it shows the only inward flight it could have been is from Manchester.
Then its a Aer Arann ATR so if its the MAN flight.......any further details. All ATR Regional use a four number code for there flights e.g EI1234 where the Airbus use a 3 no code EI123.
Radio news reports in Ireland, which do not cite a source, claiming aircraft made two attempts to land, then suffered a nose wheel failure on the second attempt.
Initial reports say all passengers and crew OK, but as the aircraft is stranded on the runway, SNN is closed.
Yep, landing gear failure on an ATR72 (Aer Arran?) after heavy landing. Funnily enough, I saw both approaches. A lot of wing movement at about 1000ft as it passed overhead, so I wasn't too surprised to hear the sad news.

With these winds at SNN you get windshear on final and severe turbulence at 200ft, with a nice bit of turbulence on the TDZ for 24 due to the hangars on the NW side of RW06/24.
Can the forum mods please change the title to Aer Lingus REGIONAL incident in SNN as this would be far more accurate. Thankyou
As far as the passengers/public would be concerned, it will be painted as Aer Lingus operating an Aer Lingus service so would be Aer Lingus. Whether it's regional/wet leased or not, doesn't really matter.
