The delayed Ryanair flight took off early this Friday morning from Fuerteventura to Shannon
A NUMBER of flights to and from Shannon Airport have been cancelled or delayed due to Storm Éowyn.
Mean speeds approached category one hurricane levels on the west coast, according to meteorological expert Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather.
Limerick Live was in contact with one passenger due to return home to Limerick from a holiday in Fuerteventura last night. Their 5.40pm flight on Thursday to Shannon was cancelled.
At 7.30pm, they told Limerick Live: “We are still in the airport awaiting a bus to take us to a hotel for the night."
At close to midnight, they said they had been bussed to a five star hotel in the very south of the island.
“We’re leaving again at 4.15am. They are telling us the flight will go at 7am,” they said.
And according to the Shannon Airport website the plane from the Canary Island is due to land at 11am.
