Orlando-bound flight diverted back to Dublin due to "technical fault"

The plane was just south of Iceland when a decision was made to turn back to Dublin.

AN AER LINGUS plane bound for Orlando was diverted back to Dublin two hours into its journey this afternoon, due to technical issues.

A spokesman for the company confirmed the decision was made due to a “technical fault” — and said the plane landed safely at Dublin Airport around an hour ago.

Alternative arrangements are being made to transport the passengers on to Florida tomorrow.

    It just shows what good community spirit can do for an area. Well done to all concerned.

    Only problem.i ever had with the axis, was the price they charge local projects to use the place. I know you can’t give it for free but its a not cheap

    tbh the axis always comes across as an state funded orts outpost in ballymun. As someone mentioned, they used to (probably still do) charge local groups silly money to use their facilities, especially considering that they hoover up so much funding directed to the area.

    Would just like to wish the axis the greatest luck with their show “cleaners” it looks fantastic. I was born in Ballymun and moved out at 5 years of age, but I am delighted to be bringing my play any summers to the Axis and back to the place that I was born because the community spirit that is alive in that area today is one that we should all take a great example from.
