A disruptive passenger forced an Aer Lingus flight headed for Boston to make an emergency landing back at Shannon.
Flight EI135 of Aer Lingus is a regularly scheduled flight that operates between Shannon and Boston. EI-LRC is responsible for the affected rotation.
Planespotters.net data indicates that EI-LRC, an Airbus A321neo, is 4.1 years old and was delivered to the Irish carrier in October 2019.
The airline operates eight A321neo variants, with an average age of 3.4 years; seven are in active service and one is parked.
When there is little demand for the flights or when they are just assigned based on schedule, several of these A321neos operate transatlantic services to the United States and Canada.
This afternoon, around 1440 local time, Aer Lingus flight EI135 took off from the Irish airport and headed west towards Boston.
The plane made a U-turn back to Shannon after receiving reports of disruptive passengers, and when it arrived, it landed safely in the presence of the police.
Before the Aer Lingus A321neo returned to the Irish airport, it is believed that the aircraft flew for more than two hours and traveled a considerable distance across the Atlantic Ocean.
There are currently no details available regarding the disruptive passenger. This is still an ongoing story.
Aer Lingus flight EI135 is returning to Shannon after over 2 hours of flight due to a disruptive passenger, aircraft will be met by police on arrival
