Ryanair aircraft experiencing a mishap with the perimeter fence at the Greek airport.
Hey there -- kick back and enjoy the read! You won't believe what happened to passengers on a Ryanair flight from London to Kalamata, Greece. During its taxi to the parking position, the aircraft collided with a fence at the airport. And get this -- there were no reported injuries!
"The aircraft continued to roll and passengers disembarked normally," Ryanair told Deutsche Presse-Agentur. Intrigued by this strange occurrence, the aircraft then underwent the necessary inspections and maintenance before resuming service.
Now, British tabloids certainly had a field day with this one on Wednesday. Passengers reported feeling a loud bang, according to the "Sun." Seems like they also experienced some in-flight turbulence, making their way to this holiday destination.
Digging a little deeper, it appears this wing tip clash with the fence happened while the aircraft was taxiing, not during the landing itself. There's no clear cause mentioned in the reports for the plane hitting the fence during taxi. It could have been due to adverse weather conditions, but nothing concrete has been confirmed as the culprit yet. No mechanical failure or crew error has been verified as the root cause either.
Just so you know, no emergency responders had much to do once they arrived on the scene, indicating the situation was dealt with efficiently. The aircraft was put through routine inspections and maintenance before it was cleared for service once again. So there you have it, folks! A thrilling adventure on a Ryanair flight causing quite a stir, and everyone's safe and sound!
