Flights back on time after power outage disruptions

FLIGHTS at Dublin and Shannon airports were back on track last night after disruptions due to the power blackouts which caused chaos in some eastern cities in North America.

Several thousand passengers travelling from Canada and the US had their travel plans put on hold after airport services were caught up in the power outage.

“Most of the transatlantic flights landed this morning,” said an Aer Rianta spokesperson. “There was no problem with the flights from Boston, Philadelphia, Newark and Atlanta.”
