Ryanair flight hit by lightning

The Irish Times - Wednesday, September 7, 2011

A Ryanair flight was forced to return to Dublin airport shortly after take-off yesterday after the aircraft was struck by lightning.

Ryanair flight FR554 from Dublin to Manchester had just taken off shortly after 4pm when the crew contacted air traffic controllers to advise them the aircraft had been hit by lightning. The flight landed safely about 30 minutes after take-off and did not require any emergency services to be on standby.
