Holes found in transatlantic jet’s wing after landing in Dublin Airport

A TRANSATLANTIC jet that landed at Dublin Airport on Saturday was found to have damage, including holes in its left wing, which was only detected after the plane arrived in Dublin.

It has emerged that a tyre on the Air Transat Airbus A330-300 jet shredded on departure from Toronto and punched two holes in the jet’s left wing and caused damage to another area of the wing as well as to the flaps and undercarriage door.

Flight TS-232, which was carrying 314 passengers, arrived in Dublin at 11.28am on Saturday after an apparently uneventful flight.
