EUjet flight makes emergency landing in Dublin

An EUjet flight from Kent in England made an emergency landing at Dublin Airport this morning after experiencing difficulties with its nose wheel.

Emergency procedures were put in place at the airport after the crew reported the difficulty, but the plane touched down safely just before 8.30am.

Twenty-six people were on board at the time.

EUjet, a low-fares airline, took to the skies at the start of this month.

It is based at Shannon Airport in Co Clare and is owned by former Ryanair chief executive PJ McGoldrick.
