Precautionary Landing Eindhoven - Ibiza flight

Edited Google Translation from an article in a Dutch newspaper's website: ED (Eindhoven Daily)

LONDON - Passengers on Tuesday en route from Eindhoven to Ibiza who experienced terrifying moments during a precautionary landing in Charleroi, have now safely arrived in Ibiza. Completely unexpectedly, the plane turned back around noon Tuesday over France.

It then circled for a long time above the airport of Charleroi Belgium before landing there. Fire trucks and ambulances were waiting for the plane landing.

Jan Everaerts out on Leende was one of the passengers. "The plane behaved very strange," he says. "It rocked and shocked."

Ryanair speaks of a precautionary landing. In an official statement describes the pricefighter as a 'standard diversion. The declaration further states that Ryanair plane landed normally and that passengers then switched to another plane to reduce the delay.

When asked whether the aircraft is indeed abnormal shook and rocked as Everaerts reports, would the company not comment further. "It was a normal diversion," the spokesman repeated again.

According Everaerts' son Patrick Sarton, who was also on the plane, it was anything but normal. "It seemed that the aircraft could not land," he says. "It was always going a little down, not like normal in a diagonal line." According to Sarton there was a panicky atmosphere in the plane.


So far the article. On the dutch language part of this forum some people make a connection to an earlier incident, also with a Ryanair flight, in 2010. From this incident there is an official report available: http://www.aaiu.ie/upload/general/13488-REPORT_2012_010-0.PDF.
