All cabin crew are trained in advanced first aid and aviation medicine and must complete yearly exams to show proficiency. Prior to flights, the cabin crew follows a briefing in which they must respond to questions not only on safety and emergency procedures but also on medical emergencies, to show that their knowledge is up-to-date and ready for any future eventuality.

Dublin Airport suffered a meltdown on Sunday as passengers were forced to queue outside Terminals 1 and 2 in the morning hours. The airport struggled with security checks, with not enough lanes open and traffic rising rapidly. The shortage of staff led to hundreds missing their flights after expending hours in the queue.
