Tengrinews.kz - Ryanair plane was unable to land in Berlin due to a 90-second delay.
Tengrinews.kz - Ryanair plane was unable to land in Berlin due to a 90-second delay.
According to Aviation24, on January 5, 2025, Ryanair flight FR2501, flying from Gran Canaria (Spain) to Berlin (Germany), encountered an unexpected problem. The plane was forced to change route and land in Hanover, located 250 kilometers from its destination, due to strict nighttime flight restrictions at the capital's Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER).
The Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 with the registration number 9H-VUR was supposed to land in Berlin at 10:50 PM, but the delay meant that the plane did not reach the airport until 11:59 PM – just 90 seconds before the start of the “core night time”, when landings and takeoffs of scheduled flights are strictly prohibited. Even though the plane was already in the final stages of its descent at an altitude of 410 meters, it was not given permission to land.
After the landing request was rejected, the aircraft was diverted to Hanover. There, passengers had to continue their journey to Berlin by bus, which added more than three hours to their already lengthy journey. As a result, the return from sunny Spain turned into a tiring ordeal that lasted for several additional hours.
The strict night policy at Berlin Brandenburg Airport is aimed at minimizing noise at night. From 12 AM to 5 AM, scheduled flights are prohibited from taking off and landing. Violation of this rule threatens air carriers with a fine of up to 50 thousand euros.
However, the incident has caused a wave of criticism. Many passengers felt that such strict adherence to restrictions creates unnecessary inconvenience for travelers. At the same time, supporters of the rules emphasize the importance of such measures to protect the interests of local residents who suffer from aviation noise.
Earlier, Ryanair faced a global outage due to the Microsoft outage. Company on its website warned passengers to arrive at airports three hours before departure due to a "third-party IT issue" affecting all airlines on the network.
