Virgin 39 diverts to Shannon
Today's Virgin Atlantic flight VIR 039 from London Heathrow to Chicago O'Hare diverted to Shannon as a precaution after smoke was noted in one of the galleys. The flight, operated by A340-313X G-VELD landed at 12.48. The airport fire service and two units from Ennis Fire Station were in attendance when the aircraft with it's compliment of 156 passengers touched down safely on a blustery and rainy R24.

Very Pleased that the aircraft landed without incident and all aboard were unharmed! I am sure that the Virgin Crew acted with more than due care during the incident and hopefully the pax were able to move on with the trip shortly thereafter.
