Title: Dublin operations suspended due to drone
Post by: jasT1981 on February 04, 2023, 03:13:25 PM

Looks like some idiot is playing with a drone over Dublin. Talk last night on FB that flights were not landing due to drone, and today operations suspended again for drone activity.

Operations have restarted. But surely even the biggest idiot in Ireland knows not to fly a drone next to a busy international airport?
