After lining up to depart runway 28 , Aer Lingus A320 EI-DEO was cleared for takeoff when the captain informed the tower controller that they would have to momentarily delay their take-off as some birds had begun to fly across the runway just ahead of where they were waiting.
So without delay the controller cancelled the A320s takeoff clearance, and instructed the Aer Lingus crew of the A330 on final approach (inbound from Seattle) to go around and climb up to 3000ft.
The crew went around and came back into land without any further issues.
This is the first time I’ve seen an Aer Lingus A330 go-around, so as you can imagine I was quite pleased to be able to film it.
