Ryanair Boeing jet catches fire on runway in Italy, all passengers and crew evacuated safely
ai generated text
Ryanair reported a safety incident involving one of its aircraft, which experienced an engine issue resulting in a fire. All 184 passengers and 6 crew members were safely evacuated via an inflatable slide, with no reported injuries. The incident occurred at Brindisi airport, where the plane was grounded due to the emergency. It's unclear whether the fire was directly related to the engine, but initial reports suggest it may have been.
This morning, at Brindisi airport, a new accident occurred, yet another, on a Ryanair plane.
And these are just some of the many, too many accidents that have involved Ryanair in recent months, in Italy and Europe.
We have therefore asked for an urgent hearing in the Transport Commission at the Chamber of ENAC leaders, with a focus on the safety of Ryanair flights, which - it is worth remembering - is the leading carrier in Italy for passenger traffic.
Flight FR8826 from Brindisi to Turin was delayed this morning after cabin crew observed fumes on the outside of the aircraft. Passengers were disembarked without incident and returned to the terminal by bus. We sincerely apologise to affected passengers for this delay.
Passengers disembarked normally, and the aircraft was inspected by engineers, who are currently servicing the aircraft so that it can return to service.
