A spokesperson for Shannon Airport has said this morning that all flights due into Shannon today will arrive on, or ahead of schedule, with the exception of a flight from New York (Newark) which has been delayed due to weather conditions in the United States and is due to arrive at 10:50am.
The statement follows the temporary closure of Irish airspace last night after technical problems with the Shannon Air Traffic Control flight radar system caused disruption to flights to and from Shannon and Cork. An investigation is underway this morning into the technical problems.
The spokesperson confirmed that the first flight due into Shannon this morning arrived ahead of schedule. Aer Lingus EI134 from Boston landed ahead of schedule at 05:48am and the Ryanair London Stansted FR102 and the Ryanair Faro flight FR2303 departed on schedule at 07:05am.
The airport expects that all flights due to depart Shannon today will operate to schedule, but has advised passengers to check with their airlines.
The Aer Lingus Birmingham flight EI3638 which was cancelled last night will operate as normal later today. Passengers were accommodated in hotels overnight.
