Hansol from what I hear, a major emergency plan in operation at Shannon, and "emergency landing" due in the next hour. Local radio mentioned an aircraft with 5 on board. Sorry, that's all I have at present.

This is from the RTE Website re DUB:
Passengers have been evacuated from a plane at Dublin Airport after fears of a fire on board.
Aer Lingus flight EI432, bound for Milan, was about to take off when the pilot reported there was smoke in the cabin.
61 passengers were evacuated via the plane's emergency chutes.

Smoke in Cabin
According to reports, the Aer Lingus 432 flight to Milan was delayed due to wx in Milan. While on the ground, smoke was reported in the cabin.
Shutes were deployed and all evacuated. 1 CC member sustained injury, but otherwise all ok and having breakfast while awaiting replacement aircraft.
No fire found, and cause of smoke is being investigated.

Re: Shannon emergency
Heard it is a Galaxy east bound. Reported tyre fire (where fire occurred I don't know) 61 souls on board. Landed uneventfully, all OK, emergency services stood down.

The Shannon Emergency was a C17 Loadmaster with hydraulic problems. Circled over Cork for an hour to burn down fuel and landed without requiring further assistance.
Well that's the one I was got out of bed for.

An earlier report stated 1 crew member was injured in the evacuation. Hope they are all right.
60 passengers isn't very many. What type an aircraft would be used on this flight, A320?. They can't be making much money with a load like that.

It's not on the website yet, but according to Irish media, Ryanair have announced Dublin-Kaunas.
Also, this may be old news, but Centralwings will launch Dublin-Lodz and Dublin-Gdansk

Dublin City Airport? Options?
What are the possibilities for a City Airport in Dublin? Apart from the obivious, the price of property, why hasnt there been a case for a City airport. Belfast have one, why not Dublin, or even Cork. The congestion at DUB puts off a lot or people. Why take a flight when in just over 2 hours, you could be in Befast or Galway. If any of the Irish boys can answer that, its appreciated!

the property men are making way too much money building apartments and financial blocks to allow docks to be paved over. Plus if flightpaths were anywhere near Dublin 4 the delicate souls there would have a fit!

Dublin City Airport
The idea was around some years back,shortly after LCY opened,someone in Dublin proposed the building of a LCY style airport at a sight near Fairview Park,which is about 3 miles from O'Connell Street,I d'ont know what happened,but a new road was built on the proposed sight.

That and the fact that when there is no traffic you could technically be in o'connel street in about 15 mins from the current airport...of course, I am talking theoretically here!!!

DAA (owned by govt remember) would go ape at any capacity being removed from DUB to "Dublin City" since that would reduce the case for 10L/28R. (edit:oops got my runways wrong way round!)
BHD is the Shorts runway, isn't it? In which case they were only making more use of what was already there.
Also - BHD has continual trouble with strict opening hours, hostile pols and has reached the passenger cap.
