Friday's front pages are dominated by the Air India crash in which at least 265 people have died.

An Air India plane bound for London crashed moments after taking off from the city of Ahmedabad on Thursday, authorities said, in the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade.

The crash is the lead story in The Irish Times, Irish Examiner and Irish Independent.

There were 30,000 parking fines issued in Cork in the last six months, The Echo reports.

The Irish Sun and Irish Daily Mail lead with the Air India plane crash.

The Herald leads with a story on a man being arrested on suspicion of the murder of Annie McCarrick in 1993.

The Irish News and Belfast Telegraph lead with riots in Ballymena that have spread across other towns in Northern Ireland.
