Two United States Air Force fighter jets made an unscheduled landing at Shannon Airport on Saturday.

The military aircraft landed safely at the County Clare airport following an unspecified issue that occurred while they were flying over the Atlantic Ocean.

Emergency services and airport personnel were prepared for the arrival of the aircraft, which touched down without further incident. No injuries or damage have been reported in connection with the unscheduled landing.

Shannon Airport frequently serves as a transit and refueling point for various international aviation operations, including military transport, due to its strategic location on the western edge of Europe.
