Ryanair does not land in Fra 😅

The fact that a plane from Ryanair may be maintained by LHT does not mean that this must happen in FRA. LHT is active worldwide.

The aircraft then does not come to maintenance, but the maintenance colleagues drive/ fly to the aircraft.

In addition, aircraft can be sent to any maintenance base of a Part-145 maintenance operation regardless of the normal flight plan and without Paxe.

Hello,

In 2009, Lufthansa Technik had concluded a maintenance contract with Ryanair for its B737 stationed in Brussels, with an option for further machines or a term extension of the contract.

Whether the contract is still up to date, I could not find out the quickest, but you can look for it; possibly with the LHT, the LH-Group shareholder report or even with Ryanair itself.

No, they do not comply with their safety directives for a long time. For example, in 2012 Ryanair had to reroute 3 aircraft. All three had to land due to lack of fuel, one day! I’m not sure about this airline.

What is the case with Ryanair’s tight fuel calculation to do with the maintenance of the machines?

I don’t think Lufthansa Airlines is contracting to get it right. If, at some point, in my opinion, only a matter of time, an Ryanair machine crashes because of a lack of fuel, people would think that this was still maintained by Lufthansa. Even if it wasn’t really related, many people would still think and that would be very business-damaging.

Who says Ryanair is uncertain? The planes on that day all had the required amount of kerosene plus the required reserve on board and were thus as well refueled as all other aircraft. However, it makes a difference whether the nearest airport is located in a distance, that one would have to be guided as a priority even on arrival there because of the reserves that have been broken up.

There’s more SInn to wait for the weather to improve and land right at the airport to which you wanted. None of the options would have been safer…

The other airlines had no problems that day. And you are right, of course, the quantity has complied with the directives, but in my opinion the European directives are too loose. LH and other airlines are refueling more than the minimum amount, while Ryanair is exerting pressure on the pilots on fuel. What Ryanair does is allowed, but that does not automatically mean that it is also safe.
