Quoteit was a eirjet plane with an eirjet poilet that was charterd by ryan air .
btw could've been interesting if they'd made the mistake around one of the British cities. Might not have been such jovial headlines....

Ryanair said "at no stage were passengers in danger"
I wonder with 9/11 and all that was that really the case
sure that's okay then, as I'm sure the passengers were told that when they booked.Originally Posted by anto1208

Ah, Ryanair are blameless then..I mean how could they have possibly ensured that eirjet had capable staff with the aim of completing the flight before chartering it. The funniest thing for me is that the passengers treated it as a joke initially - if you were to fly with a any major, nay, more professional operator, you wouldn't think landing in the middle of nowhere with a cardboard box for a terminal is a joke, but with Ryanair, who's to tell?
Though this is not the funniest I've heard since I last looked at this thread. I heard of someone actually of having their flight changed after booking..you can imagine a conversation on the phone if you were to ask why:
"Hello Sir/Madame, I'm from Ryanair and I see you've booked and paid for a flight on such and such a day with us....erm it turns out now we won't be flying that day, we'll be flying the following day instead and ermmm...you're now going to be flying the next day whether you like it or not - I hope it wasn't anything important"

The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
Classic!
put it this way if you put a drunk mate into a cab told the cabby the address and he dropped him off at the wrong house is it your fault ??Ah, Ryanair are blameless then..I mean how could they have possibly ensured that eirjet had capable staff with the aim of completing the flight before chartering it.

:
i flew aerlingus it was ment to land in shannon it landed in cork , this happens all the time its just the ryan air bashers love to have a go at any little thing that goes wrong .
they where 5 miles from where they where supposed to be shock horror how did they ever survive that ,a week of counciling i think should see them through this difficult time , even if they had to walk they would be there in an hour .
You give the impression of being someone who writes faster than he thinks, even if that causes a few grammatical issues, so I'll try to make this a simple question:
What if there had been a plane taking off from the runway the pilot mistook for one five miles away?
Landing in the wrong place is a really, really serious problem. It raises more questions: What are the checks in place for selecting the correct runway? If he had been in contact with the Derry airport tower, the pilot must have been given a particular landing slot, which he made a total balls of. If so, why wasn't his position confirmed? Was procedure followed there? Why the hell don't the newspapers ask those questions instead of reporting the story in a really shallow manner?
You can't spell failure without FAI
first off im not writting an english leaving cert essay so my grammer doesnt have to be right you get the message get over it .
how is what you mentioned above ryanairs fault rather than the pilot ? thast my point every one is going on like its another f up by ryanair , when im blaming the pilot .
4nd 1 dn't hv 2 vs vwls 2 gt my mssg 4cr0ss, bt 1t hlps.
The first two paragraphs of your post do indeed say that. I agree with you on that - Ryanair are reasonably blameless here. If anyone deserves a bashing, it'll be between Derry airport's ATC tower and Eirjet or whatever they're called.how is what you mentioned above ryanairs fault rather than the pilot ? thast my point every one is going on like its another f up by ryanair , when im blaming the pilot .
However, your last paragraph, the thing I specifically quoted, was what I disagreed with. You see now why a little care in what you post makes a difference in what you communicate?

I doubt that Derry airport has more than one runway or more than one or two flights an hour so that's probably not an issue. It did make me wonder about all these fancy electronic navigation and safety devices you see on the discovery channel in airplanes. Are they just for show?
its called dyslexia .it looks perfectly ok to me so theres nothing i can do about it , stop being such a mouldy maggot worring about grammer FFS . do you slag people in wheel chairs because there not good runners !!
its still not a big deal , if there was a plane taking off the tower in the airbase would have been active and spotted the incoming plane on the radar , if another plane comes within a certain distance an alarm goes off in the cockpit .
this is an even bigger non story than the tv show that started this thread , if ye knew half of what actually goes on in other airlines you'd never fly .
remember BA phoning up virgin airlines customers lieing to them that the virgin flight has been cancelled and selling them BA tickets instead !!

If that's true, then I'm sorry. However, I've known and worked with a number of dyslexic people in the past, and none of them has failed to capitalise the first letter of a sentance, misplaced commas and full stops or marked the end of a question with a pair of exclamation marks. Mixing up there and their, or misspelling grammar I could understand, but you look rather more like a lazy typist than a dislexic person to me. Of course, you could be both. Anyway, enough of this. Back on topic.its called dyslexia .it looks perfectly ok to me so theres nothing i can do about it , stop being such a mouldy maggot worring about grammer FFS . do you slag people in wheel chairs because there not good runners !!
There have been incidences of jets coming within a few tens of metres of each other on runways in accidents like this. I don't think an accident was as unlikely as you think anto.
That's true of most industries. Ever eaten Chicken McNuggets? ("Jamie Oliver... appalled the children by demonstrating that their much loved chicken nuggets are made of a pulp of, literally, skin and bones.")this is an even bigger non story than the tv show that started this thread , if ye knew half of what actually goes on in other airlines you'd never fly .
That's pathetic (and I'd hope it resulted in a big fine for fraud or some such), but not really an indication of how able they are to take off, fly to where you want to go and land, which are my main metrics in chosing an airline. After that, it's just pricing and frills.remember BA phoning up virgin airlines customers lieing to them that the virgin flight has been cancelled and selling them BA tickets instead !!

While I'm inclined to agree with John83, I don't want to see any more off-topic discussion in this thread. If you want to discuss dyslexia, start a new thread, and don't get personal please.
Looking for a story I remembered from 1995, where the plane landed in the wrong country, not just the wrong airport, I found this:Ah, Ryanair are blameless then..I mean how could they have possibly ensured that eirjet had capable staff with the aim of completing the flight before chartering it. The funniest thing for me is that the passengers treated it as a joke initially - if you were to fly with a any major, nay, more professional operator, you wouldn't think landing in the middle of nowhere with a cardboard box for a terminal is a joke, but with Ryanair, who's to tell?

Anyone who thinks Ryanair is bad should try airlines in some less developed countries!
I'm sure that Michael O'Leary will lap this up.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
Does Derry Airport even have air traffic control? I would think it consists of no more than saying the runway is clear of an obstructions. Notice how these incidents don't happen at major airports?
If you don't like Ryanair don't buy a ticket with them. Even if you never fly ryanair they have ensured your Aer Lingus ticket is probably 1/4 of the price it would be if noi Ryanair. In the past you would have had no choice as the state airlines ran a nice cosy cartel.
Ryanair must know that if they have an accident which dents their safety record it could impact on their sales.
And Michael O'Leary would probably blame the accident on state or big company sponsored sabotage.
