Ryanair Flight Takes Emergency U-Turn After Door is Left Open
“A door was left open” on a Ryanair flight from Belfast International Airport to Edinburgh, forcing the pilot to execute a U-turn and bring the aircraft down safely.
As soon as the jet took off, a passenger reported that everyone “knew something was wrong.” According to reports, the flight attendants were “shook up” and “in tears,” and the pilot of the aircraft kept checking one of the doors.
The passenger described the flight as “terrifying” and expressed hope that Ryanair will take the incident as a lesson. They continued, saying, “After we landed, they indicated a door sensor issue was the cause. Even though it was an emergency landing, we had to circle for a short while.
According to a Ryanair representative: “Due to a small technical issue with the aircraft, this flight from Belfast to Edinburgh (17 October) returned to Belfast International Airport shortly after departure.
In order to limit any inconvenience to the passengers, a backup aircraft was promptly scheduled and left for Edinburgh Airport at 00:40 local time. The plane landed without incident. Ryanair deeply regrets any inconvenience caused to all impacted passengers.
