Budapest (BUD/LHBP) is closed
BUD is closed since 1100 UTC for a heating system malfunction in the tower which damaged radio and radar equipment. Approx 80 flights are affected, most of them are cancelled, a lot of diversions to VIE, BTS and DEB. Some Wizz flights will be operated from DEB (Debrecen). According to latest news the airport will not be open before 09 UTC tomorrow (08DEC).

According to AVHerald 3 others had to divert, because they weren't priority aircraft. Ryanair was priority due to low fuel.
These are facts as reported.
So everyone payed for Ryanairs fuel policy.
How lame to cash in on everyone elses caution and on others operating at a way safer level.
This is my opinion.

So what happened after the RYR landed ... Did it have another emergency 30 minutes later requiring it to take-off again or did it remain there until the airport, officially, re-opened?
