Not a good day fro Aer Lingus T/A ops yesterday. Two A330 had to be taken out of service because of a technical fault and the other was struck by a vechicle. As usual media making a big deal out of it. They claim that close to 200 were given Hotel accomadation in SNN as the aircraft was needed in Dublin, however its reported elsewhere that it was a lot less.
Does anyone know if much damage was caused to the aircraft and will they be leasing a 767 to cover if its not in service soon as it the summer season and all A330 are required.
