An Lufthansa Airbus A380 ag Aerfort na Sionainne Dé Céadaoin
Rinne an t-aerárthach paisinéirí is mó ar domhan tuirlingt iontach ar an rúidbhealach is faide in Éirinn Dé Céadaoin nuair a thuirling an Lufthansa Airbus A380 in Aerfort na Sionainne.
Thuirling an "superjumbo" dhá stór, ar féidir leis níos mó ná 500 paisinéir a iompar, ag 11am ag taispeáint a scála neamhghnách ag 73 méadar ar fhad agus 24 méadar ar airde.
Ag labhairt dó tar éis dó teacht, dúirt Stiúrthóir Aerfoirt Aerfort na Sionainne, Niall Kearns: "Bíonn sé spreagúil i gcónaí don phobal nuair a eitlíonn eitleán mór cosúil leis an A380 isteach sa tSionainn, agus tá sé an-suntasach ina shuí ar an rúidbhealach, ag déanamh níos mó ná aerárthaí níos rialta.
"Leis an rúidbhealach is faide sa tír, táimid dea-fheistithe chun freastal ar na haerárthaí níos mó seo, agus láimhseálaimid iad go rialta. Is annamh a fheictear an Airbus A380 seo in Éirinn, agus tá áthas orainn fáilte a chur roimhe ar ais."

Chomh maith leis an A380, chuir Aerfort na Sionainne fáilte roimh an aerárthach tráchtála ba mhó ar domhan, an Antonov AN-225, go minic sular thit sé san Úcráin in 2022.
In 2020, thuirling an t-aerárthach sé stór leis an lastas aonair is mó in Éirinn de PPE, ag tráth ríthábhachtach le linn fhreagairt COVID-19.
Is cuairteoir rialta ar Aerfort na Sionainne a dheartháir níos lú, an Antonov AN-124, an t-aerárthach lastais is mó ar domhan anois, agus thuirling sé i mí na Nollag 2025 le déanaí.
