A Ryanair flight from Brindisi to Turin caught fire while taxiing on the runway, leading to the safe evacuation of all 184 aboard, who were then flown to their destination on a replacement flight.
The incident happened a few days after another Ryanair flight faced issues with exploded tires upon landing in Milan, prompting concerns about the airline's aircraft maintenance.
Ryanair is heavily reliant on its fleet of Boeing 737s, with CEO Michael O'Leary urging Boeing to improve its quality control standards in light of recent troubling incidents.
Air traffic at Brindisi airport was halted for some hours following the fire on Flight FR8826. The airline ensured that all passengers were disembarked without any incidents.
