This afternoon's Ryanair flight RYR 1Q from Birmingham to Shannon made an emergency landing at Shannon as the aircraft has a suspected burst nosewheel tyre. The aircraft initially made a low pass down the runway to enable a Ryanair engineer positioned on the threshold view the condition of the landing gear. At 16.35 the aircraft made a safe landing with the airport fire and rescue service in attendance. After touching the main gear, the aircraft 'wheelied' down the runway for a considerable distance to kill speed before touching the nose gear. After inspection by the fire crew the aircraft was allowed taxi onto stand. The aircraft re-entered service later this evening, preforming the Shannon - Prestwick - Shannon RYR 732J/733J rotation. Pictured above EI-DYS turns onto Taxiway Alpha on R24 pursued by the Airport Fire Service tenders.
