Two Flights Diverted to Dublin from Shannon Airport due to Adverse Weather Conditions

Flights being diverted from one airport to another due to extreme weather conditions has become an increasingly common phenomenon. The most recent episode occurred when several flights were forced to divert to Dublin from Shannon airport due to adverse weather conditions. The situation has caused inconvenience not just for passengers, but also for the airlines and the airports involved. The occurrence highlights the importance of being adequately prepared for such situations and the need for improved communication and coordination among all parties involved. In this article, we will delve deeper into the issue, explore the reasons behind the diversions, and examine the impact it had on travelers and airport operations.


The spokesperson for Shannon Airport Group (SAG) confirmed that two flights bound for Shannon Airport were diverted to Dublin due to adverse weather conditions. The FR1865 from Reus, scheduled to arrive at 12:50 pm, and FR1345 from Lanzarote, scheduled to arrive at 2:30 pm, were affected by strong crosswinds. Both Ryanair commercial flights were seen circling the airport before landing safely in Dublin. The flights’ details were displayed on the FlightRadar24 app, which tracks over 180,000 flights worldwide. A passenger on the FR1345 flight reported that those on the plane were transported back to Shannon Airport by bus because many had parked their cars there. An orange wind warning from Met Éireann was in place for the early hours of that Wednesday. The article includes links to the Limerick Leader’s galleries and article previews.
