Ryanair flight makes Gatwick landing over fumes
01.09.11
A Ryanair flight from Barcelona to Stansted made an emergency landing at Gatwick after passengers complained of the smell of ‘fumes’.
The flight from Girona was forced to land at Nantes, in France, after a passenger smelt an ‘unusual odour’. The plane was cleared by engineers, but complaints resumed after it took off again, leading to the plane landing at Gatwick.
A spokeswoman for the airline said: ‘Ryanair's engineers in Gatwick will inspect the aircraft, which has been removed from service for the remainder of the day or until this issue has been resolved. The flight's 189 passengers were transferred by coach to Stansted.'
