A Northwest Airlines plane made an emergency landing at Shannon Airport today.
The DC10, with around 250 passengers and crew on board was en route from Amsterdam to Miami.
It is understood that smoke was reported in a front cabin and the plane was diverted to Shannon as a precautionary measure.
There were no reports of injuries.
The aircraft was due to continue its journey this afternoon but it is believed that due to a problem over staffing and crew hours it will not leave Shannon until tomorrow
