I see that a 30min flight by Ryanair turned into a nightmare odyssey last night for the passengers and crew, who ended up in France, instead of Ireland. With so many diversions, it makes you wonder why the ops depts of differing airlines didn't just give up any reasonable hope obfcompleting short=haul flights at all ? Rubbish for the passengers, of course, but perhaps better than ending up in lo-co hell somewhere.
