Title: Shannon radar failure - Airspace closed
Post by: jasT1981 on October 02, 2018, 08:51:41 PM

Irish skies are very quiet tonight. It is being reported Shannon's EISN has had a radar data failure. No flights allowed over the ROI.

Went down at Apx 7pm. Aircraft on ground at Shannon returned to gate. Dublin seems to be accepting flights from the west.
