Shannon and Dublin airports deal with emergency landings
Two transatlantic passenger jets have made unscheduled landing at Irish airports this morning.
A Turkish Airlines flight diverted to Shannon Airport with a medical emergency while at around the same time, a Delta flight landed at Dublin with a technical issue.
Turkish Airlines flight TK-3 was travelling from Istanbul to New York and was about 250 kilometres off the Irish coast when the crew turned around and diverted to Shannon.
The Airbus A300-300 jet, with 256 passengers and crew, landed at 10.59am and was met by airport fire crews and HSE paramedics. A passenger was removed to University Hospital Limerick for treatment.
The flight continued its journey about 90 minutes later.
In the meantime, Delta Airlines flight DL-144 landed at Dublin Airport after the crew reported a technical issue.
The flight was travelling from Seattle in Washington to Amsterdam when the crew reported the problem as they approached the Irish coast.
The Boeing 767-400 aircraft touched down shortly after 11am and was met by engineers.
It is understood the jet suffered an issue with one of its toilets.
