OK Guys..here is what happened.
Aircraft lands and we all know what happened then. No jacks were available at the airport and the airport authority wanted to use airbags to lift the aircraft to repair same, but the airbags to be used were not specific to the B737 and the airport wanted Ryanair to sign an indemity so that if anything went wrong during the lift the airport would not be held responsible, Ryanair refused to allow this to happen and organised to fly their own engineers and equipment from Dublin to fix the problem. But due to the incident all flights were delayed into Manchester and the aircraft carrying the engineers was also delayed. Requests to Manchester ATC to allow this aircraft an earlier slot were refused and thus the situation dragged on.
Make sense..hope so
