Query about Ryanair Diversion FlightFR 9202
Hi i was a pax onboard Ryanair Flight FR 9202 from Liverpool to Oporto last Tuesday 2nd September .
We had to Divert into Bristol airport due to a technical fault with the aircraft
Initially told by the Captain that there was a technical fault with the aircraft and he had contacted Ryanair operations and been advised to divert into Bristol .
Everything was as far as i am concerned was handled very professionally and apart from a brief stop in Bristol the flight was very uneventfull .
I just have a couple of querys . maybe you guys can help .
On landing the captain explained the nature of the technical fault as " a strap being trapped in one of the door's " ?
Could that have been one of those yellow ribbon type straps next to the main door's inside the cabin ? or do you think it could have been a strap from within the baggage hold ?
Just curious how ?
Secondly when an aircraft diverts do's it always have to refuel ?
We seemed to be refuelling for some considerable time ?
I have no complaints about Ryanair or the crew concerned . In fact everyone commented that the Captain & Fo where very informative & that the matter was handled very swiftly ..
Unusually rather than the usual moaning & groaning from my fellow Pax there where lots of people nudging each other and saying " better to be safe than sorry " etc but there was one old git telling anyone who would listen that we didnt have enough fuel in the first place & thats why we where refuelling !
My missus being a very nervous pax just wants some good olde reasurrance and im just curious .
Anyone happen to know what went on ?
