Giant airbus set to land in Knock today

THERE'S lots of activity around Ireland West Airport this afternoon with the expected imminent arrival of one of the world's largest airplanes.

With a number of delays, largely due to recent bad weather, it looks like the giant Airbus A380 will land at Knock on its final flight before being scrapped.

The plane – the largest passenger plane in the world - is en route from Dresden in Germany.
