At around 0:36 on July 4 (local time), the airport's airport airport airport airport had an injury before takeoff due to technical problems that injured 18 people.
A Ryanair representative said that the flight scheduled to depart from Palma ( Spain) to Manchester (UK) on July 4 had to stop taking off because the plane's fire alarm suddenly signaled.
The airport operator of Ryanair immediately evacuated passengers from the plane. At that time, the situation became chaotic and some passengers were injured while traveling on the wing to escape. Some people have ankle problems, some have flaccidity.
All 18 injured were given medical assistance at the scene, but six people still had to be hospitalized despite only very minor injuries to the passengers, according to airport authorities.
To minimize disruption to passengers, airport officials also quickly arranged a replacement plane to make this flight, which departed from Palma at 7:05 a.m. on July 4 (local time).
Finally, Ryanair apologized to the passengers on the flight for any inconvenience caused.
Although no fire broke out, local authorities still mobilized rescue forces, including 4 fire trucks and 1 airport fire team to respond.
The incident is said to have caused a period of extreme tension when some passengers were seen jumping off the wing of the plane in panic and fear.
Notably, an unnamed passenger said she smelled the smell of electricity burning when she returned to pick up her luggage before escaping.
Another passenger, Savanah, 26, added that an explosion occurred shortly after receiving a notice from airport authorities that the plane was about to take off. Then everyone shouted and ran, Savanah said.
This has led many experts to question Mr. Ryanair's statements, saying whether the Irish low-cost carrier was trying to hide the truth.
airport authorities have yet to comment on the passenger's statements.
