Ryanair flight FR-2954 departed Alicante for Newquay on October 24, 2026, and returned to Alicante early the next morning after diverting to Dublin and then attempting to reach Bristol, Paddleyourownkanoo reported. The outlet attributed the route changes to strong winds associated with Storm Austen in southwest England.
Key details
- The aircraft departed Alicante at about 6:36 p m , roughly an hour behind schedule, and landed in Dublin at about 8:52 p.m.
- It left Dublin at about 10:34 p.m. and returned to Alicante at about 2:16 a.m. on October 25 after it could not land at Bristol.
- Paddleyourownkanoo reported wind gusts of up to 71 mph and said passengers remained aboard in Dublin before the aircraft continued toward Bristol.
The aircraft returned to Alicante at about 2:16 a.m. on October 25, after departing the previous evening.
Why it matters
The route changes left passengers back at their departure airport instead of Newquay. The report described the journey as lasting about nine hours, highlighting how weather-related diversions can extend a short regional trip and prevent passengers from reaching their destination.
