Typical Cork luck this afternoon in spite of the rare diversion this morning of the FR LPL-SNN flight. The Cork bound EI823 from CDG ended up diverting to Shannon around 5 pm due to windshear on the approach to Cork. The aeroplane would have been doing the EI722 from ORK-LHR but in the end she ended up doing the flight out of Shannon at 22.25 hours tonight after ferrying up 4 coach loads of Cork passengers by road to Shannon. The only consolation was that another aeroplane positioned in to Cork to operate a later flight to Heathrow, the EI724, so the schedule was in the circumstances restored fairly well.
Out of curiousity does anyone know if the EI823 was connected up to an airbridge at Shannon on arrival?
Cork. What a place though! Drive you mad if you let it!
