A Ryanair flight from Dublin to Kerry was forced to turn around mid-flight on Wednesday morning due to a “minor technical issue” with the aircraft.
The flight, which left Dublin Airport shortly before 9am, was flying over Portlaoise en route to Kerry when it had to turn back and return to Dublin Airport.
In a statement, a spokeswoman for Ryanair said the flight “returned to Dublin Airport shortly after take-off due to a minor technical issue with the aircraft”.
A spokesman for the DAA, which operates Dublin Airport, confirmed the flight had to return to Dublin due to a minor technical issue. “Passengers were transferred to a replacement aircraft, which took off shortly after,” he said.
