Well, sort of. Mari Ness's wheelchair got damaged on the way to Dublin, then Aer Lingus lost track of it, then it turned up again "repaired" with not entirely compatible parts. Some of this saga made it into the Irish Independent in a roundup of travellers' woes.

Does it have a reputation for this sort of thing?

It does. They fly non-stop from here and the only positive thing I have ever heard anyone say is, "Well, at least it was cheap." Food's not very good, service is random, seating is tight. And there are a number of poor customer service stories.
