Bird strike causes Ryanair flight delay
Passengers due to fly with Ryanair from Faro in Portugal to Shannon last night have been delayed after their plane experienced a bird strike.
The plane was landing in Faro when the incident occurred. A subsequent inspection of the engine cleared it for take off.
As the plane was due to take off, some passengers became concerned about a smell onboard.
A spokesperson from The Irish Aviation Authority said they have no concerns about the safety of the aircraft.
