Facebook Twitter Whatsapp E-Mail Print Copy Link Not every holiday takes an unexpected turn: Passengers aboard Ryanair Flight FR6080, en route from London to Kalamata, found themselves in an unusual situation upon arrival. During the taxiing phase, the plane inadvertently encountered a airport fence.
Images revealed damage to the wing tip, and while Ryanair confirmed no injuries ensued, the plane was subjected to required inspections and maintenance before returning to service.
British tabloids extensively reported the occurrence on Wednesday. Witnesses noted a jarring sound as passengers experienced turbulence even before reaching their holiday destination.
According to reports, the plane's landing was surprisingly turbulent, catching passengers off guard as the crew failed to issue a seatbelt warning before the jolts began. Disregarding the initial rough landing, the crew subsequently informed passengers to anticipate a bumpy landing due to unfavorable weather conditions.
Post-collision, the aircraft stayed on the ground for roughly five and a half hours, allowing engineers to scrutinize and mend the damaged wing tip. Passengers safely deboarded with no reported injuries, and the aircraft was later cleared for more flights following maintenance checks.
Adverse weather conditions helped contribute to a rough landing, and as the plane was taxiing, the wing tip struck the fence, causing the collision and wing damage. Though the incident unfolded without injuries, the plane was repaired and resumed flights after inspection.
Community members on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter discussed the unexpected incident involving Ryanair Flight FR6080, as reported in general news outlets. Despite the car-accident-like collision with the airport fence during landing, the flight crew managed to provide vocational training through the ordeal, guiding passengers safely off the plane after the vocational training for handling emergencies.
