Agencies probe Ryanair emergency fuel landings

Spain’s aviation safety agency and the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) are investigating three Ryanair mayday emergency fuel landings at Valencia’s airport.

The incidents three weeks ago were as a result of thunderstorms that forced the planes to divert from Madrid to Valencia — two of the three emergency landings happened within minutes of each other.

A spokesperson for the IAA said they were aware of the incidents and had been in touch with Ryanair.
