An hour after flying an Aer Lingus regional flight into Shannon, a pilot collapsed and died at the wheel of his car while driving home to Mallow, an inquest heard.

Gardaí believe a young airline pilot, who died after collapsing at the wheel of his car an hour after landing a 72-seat passenger plane at Shannon, may have suffered a sudden medical trauma.

Tributes have been paid to a "highly talented" Cork pilot who was tragically killed in a road crash in Co Limerick.
