Ryanair emergency at Charleroi
I heard a report that a Ryanair flight from Charleroi to Dublin (this evening, 29th April) had to make an emergency turn around. Does anyone have any details on this?

Sorry, no details, but CRL runway is closed according to FR website. Flights being diverted to Liege/Luik. Those bloody 200's need to go....
(And if turns out to be a 737-800, I still stand by that comment! ;-)

Courtesy of RTE news (this type of reporting makes me so proud to be Irish!)
According to one of the 120 passengers on board, there was a loud engine noise as the plane took off.
Words fail me!

emergency at CRL
Jonathang,
I know that's a controversial statement I made, but I stand by it none the less. I'm not saying that these planes are doomed to crash, but they are having too many tech issues now. They are too noisy, too delay prone, and many are nervous flying them.
Regardless of how I feel flying them (quite OK actually) they are becoming a liability and that is good reason enough for Ryanair to be rid of them.

Delay prone disagree , they are faster to turn on the ground than the 800s.
Don't have the figures but 800s have their fair share of tech problems.

Having been in the flying business for some 30 years I would have to say that the 737-800 is by far the most reliable aircraft I have ever operated. It is a far from a perfect beast, but the boringly evolutionary approach to it's design has meant very risks were taken and it shows in the reliabilty figures. (I have also flown 737's of most other marks plus bigger Boeings!)

It has also been reported that the First FR Dublin-EMA service also had a few problems i'm afraid. Again a 200 series.
Sorry, but the frequency of problems with these planes is now in my opinion too high for joe public.
No matter how much those of us who know something about aviation try to say there is no serious risk, we have to accept that most who fly don't know so much about the aviation world and will be nervous about all these incidents.
It is with this in mind that Michael O'leary must consider getting rid of the 200's

First ever inbound to EMA suffered from flaps not deploying beyond 20 degrees, emergency crew activated but flight landed without further incident - 737-200 EI-CON. First outbound seriously delayed due resulting tech.

Just in case anyone's having problems reading the links...
Ryanair jet makes emergency landing
A Ryanair jet on a flight to Dublin made an emergency return to Charleroi airport shortly after takeoff last night because of a problem with its landing gear.
The airport had to cancel some flights to clean oil from the runway, but normal flights resumed early today, reported Breaking News.
After landing, the 120 passengers and five crew on the no-frills carrier's Boeing 737-200, bound for Dublin, were evacuated down the chutes for safety reasons.
One passenger was slightly injured.
Ryanair said the plane "experienced a technical problem on takeoff," so the captain turned around and "the aircraft landed safely." It did not elaborate.
There were still some delays today after workers spent the night cleaning up the oil, said airport spokesman Pierre Fernemont. He said four flights had to be cancelled.
