Investigations underway after passenger airbridge gives way

The incident occurred at around 12.30pm when the floor section of the bridge which connects to an aircraft gave way during a docking operation. Luckily, no one was injured.

The bridge was being inched forward by a member of Aer Lingus ground staff to connect with an Aer Lingus aircraft which had shut down its engines and parked at its stand.
