TWO RYANAIR AIRCRAFT clipped each other at Dublin airport this morning.
A spokesperson for the airport said the incident happened on a taxiway area. They said they were not aware of any injuries to passengers or crew on board either of the planes.
Emergency services attended as is standard procedure.
In a statement, the airline said the aircraft had been “taxiing slowly to the runway”.
“The winglet of one aircraft appears to have scraped the tail fin of the other. Both aircraft were under the instruction of Dublin Airport Air Traffic Control at the time.”
Customers were bussed and boarded two replacement aircraft, which departed to Edinburgh and Zadar. Ryanair apologised sincerely to customers for any inconvenience caused
There were slight delays for passengers on some other flights at the airport too. Some of them were taking it well:

No way man, I’m on the cooking oil at this stage
Good morning Monty. I’m off the oil. I’m pretty sure I got a dose of sunstroke this week. Headaches since Tuesday. Don’t get me wrong I’m still doing my thing as nothing is more important to me than a deep mahogany tan but I’m off the grease. Also I’d recommend plenty of water as I’ve been over estimating the hydration properties in montepulciano wine.
Sincerely,
Adebayo
Easy telling you lads don’t have red hair.
I’m roasted alive here.
I’m lucky like that. I have blonde hair down to my waist in corn rows.
Gingers belong in the shade. We just should act like vampires and stay out of direct light.
Have to keep throwing the frozen veg out if the freezer to make room for the ice creams!
Could have done with this warning yesterday……ouch
have your say
