Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Palma De Mallorca diverted to Nantes.
Aer Lingus flight #EI738 departed Dublin this Friday, July 26 2024 at 18h30 UTC to Palma De Mallorca, Spain.
The Airbus A320 (registration EI-GAL) climbed to 35,000 ft over France airspace during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
About one hour into the flight, the crew declared an emergency (squawk 7700) due to a couple fighting on board.
The Airbus A320 quickly descended and diverted to Nantes and landed close to 22:00 local time.
According to a passenger on board, the couple refused to get off the plane. One hour later, the aircraft is still on the ground.
