      So? Flight carries extra fuel in case of emergency.  Emergency happens (strong winds, 2 attempted landings, diversion to anothet airport, attempted landing, diversion to another different airport). Flight uses extra fuel. Flight lands safely.

      Always crazy how Ryanair is the only airline still trying to fly during storms. They tried to fly to Derry from Manchester during storm Éowyn last January despite red warnings, and even though people were being told to shelter in place, Ryanair was telling them the flight was boarding. Was only because they couldn’t land the plane from Manchester in Derry that they finally cancelled the flight 5 minutes before it was due to take off.. in a red weather warning.

      Not crazy at all. Their business model relies on planes being in the air for as much time as possible. They will only delay or cancel when told to by an involved third party (such departing ATC or arriving ATC).

      Close enough – didn’t even have to glide! /s (Seems a bit close.)

      Everyone is discussing this as if it’s a terrible issue, like they weren’t carrying enough fuel. In reality, they flew from Italy to Prestwick, they made multiple attempts to land in Prestwick before diverting to Manchester.

      So they had enough fuel to make it to their original destination, loiter at that airport while they attempted to land, then divert another 350ish km to an alternate airport.

      You should look up the flight they did. Basically circled Glasgow for a while waiting for weather and tried to land, then diverted to Edinburgh, circled there for ages and just when they were about to land weather was too bad, so they headed to Manchester.

      This isn’t anything new here channel 4 made a documentary about ryanair and the issues around its fuel policy. It was a dispatches documentary and I am sure it’s prob online to watch. Has a lot of pilots voicing concerns on flights they completed.

      edit – the episode is called ryanair secrets of the cockpit

      Sounds like thr flight should have been cancelled tbh before it took off. I wonder if that’s more the concern than the reserve fuel issue. These budget operators probably are always under pressure not to cancel.

      But also was the weather advisory strong enough? If conditions were going to be that bad at multiple airports it seems more like the airports should have been closed sooner.

      A C130 had precisely the same issue and was diverted to Manchester with a squawk 770.

      This was not a Ryanair issue
