07/25 at Orly is roughly the same length as 26L at Gatwick. Even with a long landing I am amazed they were unable to stop on a runway twice the length of what the aircraft is capable of operating...

I wouldn’t fly Ryanair unless I absolutely had to. Other airlines’ (such as EZY) under seat volume allowance is usually 60% more. That is the clincher for me. I always book my seat so the airport...

On an A320 carrying an extra 45 mins of fuel would add around 2% to take-off weight. What effect would this have on fuel burn?

Does anyone heard anything about what actually happened? Was it a mechanical failure causing loss of directional control at the end of the landing run?

If memory serves it caused the decision to go around which was then poorly executed causing the crash. Had they ignored the call the landing would have been completed without incident.
