An Aer Lingus flight, heading from Cork to Edinburgh, was forced to turn back to Cork not once but TWICE on Monday, initially after a technical issue and then due to being struck by lightning directly after its second take off.

The second attempt at the trip, which left Dublin at 8.50am and was set to arrive in Edinburgh around 10am, was also turned back to Dublin, when the plane was struck by lightning.

aerlingus is a very different company folks. massive change over the last 2 years. theyre now a cutting cost as much as u can greedy corporation. this cutting cost mentality includes cutting back on cleaning & maintaining planes & not contactable customer service.
