12 more Ryanair routes from BRS, how fantastic.

Last year they taxied onto the grass 3 times.

After a cowboy approach ended up on the grass in the overshoot and had a full evacuation.

Most recently, with a bird warning for the airfield, having hit said birds close to landing, attempted a Go Around at which point both engines not suprisingly said no thanks, the aircraft missed the runway initially but after a hard bounce, as luck would have it, ended up on the runway with the gear through the wing. Another evacuation followed.

Compare the lack of coverage of these events in the UK National press with BA making the headlines after an aircraft was hit by a bagagge trolly even though the aircraft never flew. Thrill seekers must be delighted with an extra 12 chances of defying death from BRS with the Irish Rodeo show.
