#306 Phl-dub 767 - Fire?

[geo1004]

What is the story with Aug. 30th PHL-DUB flight #306?

Apparently there was a fire in the forward cargo hold and the flight was diverted to SNN and made an emergency landing. The return flight from DUB was CNXed.

Any info?

Sounds like everyoone was OK and the crew did a good job of getting this old 767 on the ground safely.

Nothing like that at all. Overheated vent fan in the E&E compartment. NO FIRE

the plane was fixed, it took its passengers onto DBB, then ferried to MUC to replace the 767 that was ferried from MUC-DBB, to make up the DBB-PHL flight.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad it was not a major incident at all.

In the interest of accurate information, the passengers were bussed from SNN to DUB. A/C 645 was ferried from MUC to DUB and FLT. 307 operated 4+ hours
late.

The aircraft (653) with the exhaust cooling fan problem was ferried to PHL. It left
DUB at 2145Z.
