Dublin Airport - Ryanair flight forced to divert...
Ryanair flight bound for Dublin Airport forced to divert back to London after mid-air emergency.
A Ryanair plane travelling from London Stansted to Dublin Airport was forced to make a sudden U-turn mid-flight on Thursday.
The aircraft is understood to have put out an emergency signal near Manchester not long after take-off.
It departed Stansted at 7.30pm but subsequently returned to the London airport later on Thursday night.
Ryanair said there was a "minor technical issue" with the aircraft which meant it had to return to its departing destination.
Dublin Airport - Emirates may double the number of flights...
Emirates Airlines has confirmed that they are resuming their daily flight from Dublin to Dubai after a 'spike' in international travel from Ireland.
Starting on October 5, the route will resume and has now been optimised to allow for more connections to Asia and Africa.
According to Emirates Country Manager for Ireland, Enda Corneille, if demand continues to grow, Emirates will double their offering at Dublin Airport.
He said: "We are seeing significant growth in demand both into and out of Dublin since the lifting of travel restrictions in Ireland in July. During the early days of the pandemic, we were operating just two flights a week from Dublin, growing to four on the back of demand for our cargo business.
"So today’s news is a fantastic boost in confidence for international travel; it’s a welcome boost for the travel industry and for our customers.
"We are hopeful that the coming months will see the resumption of our double daily service from Dublin, which, for us, will be a return to normal."
Before thinking of flying, be sure to check out all the latest rules and regulations on Gov.ie.

Cork Airport - Norwegian reroute Cork and Shannon
Norwegian to temporarily reroute Cork and Shannon passengers through Dublin Airport
The move is a temporary measure in response to the recent suspension of Boeing 737 MAX operations.
Norwegian has announced plans to reroute customers who had booked flights from Cork and Shannon airports through Dublin Airport for a 10-day period at the beginning of next month.
The move is in response to the decision of the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) earlier this month to ban all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft from Irish airspace, meaning that these planes cannot fly to or from Ireland, nor can they fly over Ireland en route to somewhere else.
