A Ryanair flight carrying 171 passengers makes an emergency “Mayday” call and attempts multiple landings at Manchester Airport following fuel concerns, according to reports. The aircraft ultimately lands after triggering the alert earlier in the approach.
Both outlets say the landing happens with fuel “significantly below the final reserve fuel,” indicating the flight had less fuel than required for the planned final reserve standard. The Daily Record adds that there are three aborted landing attempts before the aircraft touches down.
The two accounts align on the passenger number, the Mayday alert, the location and the key fuel detail, while differing mainly in how they describe the sequence of landing attempts. Neither source provides further information in the excerpts about injuries, the aircraft type, the cause of the low-fuel condition, or subsequent investigations.
