LOW visibility caused by foggy weather resulted in three flights from the United Kingdom diverting to Shannon Airport on Monday morning.
Three flights scheduled to land at Ireland West Airport in Knock divered to Shannon Airport on Monday morning due to fog-related low visibility conditions at Ireland West.
Diverted flights were FR890 from Edinburgh, FR6560 from Liverpool and FR805 from Stansted
All aircraft landed safely at Shannon Airport. Passengers remained on board during the temporary stopover, and once weather conditions improved and fog lifted at Ireland West Airport, each flight was able to depart Shannon and continue its journey.
“Shannon Airport operational teams were on hand to facilitate the diversions and ensure aircraft were able to resume operations with minimal delay. The Shannon Airport Group remains committed to supporting airlines and airport partners when adverse weather impacts normal operations and wishes all passengers safe onward travel,” a spokesperson for the Shannon Airport Group told The Clare Echo.
