Do Ryanair have a big problem in their hands ?

Yesterday (at least it says so in the article but they didnt fly the route yesterday) a B737 from Ryanair had trouble landing at Stockholm Skavsta, flaps wouldnt deploy all the way, Emergency crew was called out to the runway and the 737 just stopped at the very end of the runway.

Route: Faro-Stockholm

Since RYR only flew that route on thursday and today the aircraft has to be 2013-07-11 by EI-DPP (B738) or 2013-07-13 by EI-EVH (B738)

Today a B737 from Ryanair had trouble landing at Gothenburg City Airport, flaps wouldnt deploy all the way, this time the aircraft diverted to Gothenburg Landvetter which has a longer runway, they landed without complications.

Route: Alghero-Gothenburg City

The aircraft involved has to be EI-DAO (about 10 years old)

A bit bizzare to encounter the very same problem twice in the same country, Swedish Media is very hostile when it comes to RYR so this sure wont help...
