All passengers were evacuated to a safe area. Fortunately, no one was injured. A section of the wing of one of the aircraft was broken off after the collision.

Passenger Glenn Jordan and his wife, who were on the flight to Charleroi, said that passengers heard "a loud crash" and then the plane began to shake.

Mr. Jordan said the pilots quickly contacted authorities when the incident occurred, reassured passengers, and explained the situation. Ambulances were also dispatched to the scene shortly afterward.

“Two aircraft collided at Dublin Airport this morning, thankfully no one was injured. Ryanair has contacted the Irish Civil Aviation Authority regarding the incident. We sincerely apologize to our passengers for this unfortunate event,” a Ryanair spokesperson said.

"I think one plane took off pretty quickly before the other one also started to leave the airport," said passenger Andrea Cunningham on a flight to Edinburgh.

The Irish Civil Aviation Authority is currently investigating the cause of the incident.
