An Aer Arann Avion de Transport Regional ATR-72-200 on behalf of Aer Lingus, registration EI-SLM performing flight EI-3607 from Manchester,EN (UK) to Shannon (Ireland) with 21 passengers and 4 crew, landed on Shannon's runway 24 in turbulent conditions at 10:21L (09:21Z) and slowed, however suffered a nose gear collapse while turning off the runway onto taxiway A. The airplane came to a stop on taxiway A within the runway protected area, the nose on the grass to the left of the taxiway. No injuries occurred. The passengers disembarked onto the taxiway via stairs. The aircraft received damage to the nose gear and the right hand propeller.

The airplane had already gone around from approach to runway 24 about 15 minutes earlier. The tower reported possible turbulence at the touch down zone of runway 24.
