A flight from Dublin which landed at 9.a.m. slid on ice while taxiing to the terminal building. Fortunately no-one was injured and the runway has been re-opened. Think it was a Ryanair flight.

Was a Ryanair flight that slid off an icy taxiway.

Plane undamaged and no casualties.

Runways were de-iced but more ice formed in the extreme conditions.

Lucky it was not worse. My neighbour works for Ryanair at Prestwick

and he went off this am. after digging his car out of snow and ice!

Even Prestwick was closed for a short while earlier, and that is very

unusual as being coastal it stays open when Glas/Edin. have to close.
