A Ryanair plane had to make an emergency landing at Dublin Airport after an engine failure occurred during the flight.
Flight FR1746, en route from Milan Bergamo to Knock Airport in Ireland-West, reported an emergency while flying over Wales. Passengers reported “strong vibrations” from the left engine, prompting the crew to divert the aircraft.
The flight, which was supposed to fly to the west of Ireland, landed safely in Dublin at around 6:20 p.m. on Thursday. The airport in the Irish capital is about 210 km east of the original destination.
A Ryanair spokeswoman said: “This flight from Milan to Knock has been diverted to Dublin due to a minor technical issue with the aircraft.”
“The aircraft landed normally and was taken for inspection by engineers.”
A replacement flight then carried passengers from Dublin to Knock at around 8.45 p.m., a relatively short journey.
The company was among those affected by Friday’s IT outage, which caused extensive travel disruption for Britons trying to deplane.
“We apologize for any inconvenience caused by today’s global third-party IT outage, which was completely beyond our control,” it said in a statement.
As of 9am on Saturday, the vast majority of flights from London airports appeared to be operating as scheduled.
The July accident came after Ryanair reported its busiest month ever in June.
