A very sad day for all the employees and the pax that are stuck abroad wondering how they are going to get back. On the other hand is good to see that the DGAC has decided to act when needed. A regulator with teeth? maybe the Irish should take note.
Two engine failures in short succession, very limited maintenance, regular delays of 24hrs+ something had to give. A flavour of the problems can be seen in this video
