Chaos in EIDW
An Aer Lingus BAE 146 at the holding point of RWY10 in EIDW has a hydraulic leak in low visibilty conditions RVR's of 325m
Crew report it to ATC and mutiple delays caused to following traffic.
The following aircraft had to shut down and wait while a 10nm spacing was put into effect and ATC and crew tried to get the aircraft back to the gate.
No injuries to pax but at one point the Capt had to advise ATC that passengers were begining to smell the fumes and advised he needed to get back to the gate asap...but no major panic.
All ended well except for about 4 guys in the queue who were all coming to their minimum fuel for dept .
Chaos ensuing as runway needs to be inspected etc...
multiple aircraft held on the ground waiting for their chance to go
