Ryanair UK flight RK2584, which declared an emergency and diverted to Brest, is a routine scheduled flight between Las Palmas and Manchester.

The aircraft involved in this particular incident was G-RUKJ.

As per data from Planespotters.net, G-RUKJ is a 16 year old Boeing 737-800 that started out as EI-DYN, at the Irish subsidiary to the airline.

It was handed over to the UK subsidiary in February 2023.

Of the 737-800 variant, Ryanair UK has 15 Boeing 737-800s in the fleet.

Furthermore, of that 15, all of them are in active service, offering an average fleet age of 15.1 years.

Ryanair flight RK2584 departed Las Palmas at 2015 local time last night (May 13), and proceeded northbound to Manchester.

Over the Brest area, the aircraft initially descended early, before declaring an emergency during this.

The descent was rapid due to it’s close proximity to the French airport.

It is understood the aircraft landed safely without further incident following the emergency declaration.

Cause Unclear: A Developing Story…

At this stage, it is unclear what the nature of the emergency was onboard Ryanair flight RK2584 Las Palmas-Manchester which diverted to Brest.

Data from RadarBox shows that G-RUKJ departed from the French airport not long after and proceeded to destination.

This would indicate something non-technical with the flight, and is likely to be a medical emergency.

As soon as we have more information pertinent to this, we will update you accordingly.

This is a developing story.

A TUI scheduled flight operating into Las Palmas from Glasgow has declared a general emergency at the destination due to a low fuel state after an aborted landing attempt due weather conditions.

The flight declared an emergency due low fuel state after the second approach attempt.

Diversion to Tenerife (TFS)

Flight BY1480 ten then initiated a diversion to the nearby alternate of Tenerife South Airport (TFS), where it has now landed.

In the last few moments, a Ryanair flight from Las Palmas has had to divert away from its destination of Santiago to Porto as Storm Domingos continues to cause havoc in the skies.

Incident: Ryanair Flight Las Palmas-Santiago Diverts To Porto…

In the last few moments, a Ryanair flight from Las Palmas has had to divert away from its destination of Santiago to Porto as Storm Domingos continues to cause havoc in the skies.
Data provided by RadarBox.com.

Ryanair flight FR7003 is a routine scheduled flight between Las Palmas and Santiago, which is based in north-west Spain.

The affected rotation was operated by EI-EKY, one of the airline’s Boeing 737-8AS aircraft.

As per data from Planespotters.net, EI-EKY is a 13.6 year old airframe which belongs to the Irish subsidiary of the overall group.

Of that variant of aircraft, the Irish subsidiary has a fleet of 222 of them, of which 216 are in active service and six are currently parked.

FR7003 departed Las Palmas at 0947 local time this morning and proceeded north to its destination.

After two attempts at landing, both of which resulted in go-arounds, the Ryanair aircraft proceeded south to divert to Porto, Portugal.

High winds at Santiago looks to be the cause of this diversion to Porto by the Las Palmas-originated Ryanair flight.

At the time of writing (04/11/23 @ 1305 UK time), the wind speed is gusting anywhere between 19-41 knots, which will make such flying challenging.

The Ryanair flight landed safely after around three and a half hours in the air, with no indication into when the aircraft will continue on to Santiago.

Such high winds are being attributed to Storm Domingos, which in some areas of Southern Europe, is producing winds in excess of 80-90mph. This will no doubt be the first of many diversions to take place as a result.

German Airways To Base E190 in Las Palmas for Binter

by James Field
written by James Field

German Airways has this week announced plans to base an Embraer E190 in Las Palmas, Canary Islands for Spanish carrier Binter.

This represents a new partnership forged between the two sides, which will see the aircraft based in the Winter 2023/24 schedule.

The carrier also said that it will be flying in the livery of Binter from November, with German Airways providing this cover so then the aircraft belonging to the Spanish carrier can undergo maintenance.

[monsterinsights_popular_posts_inline]

Commenting on this new partnership was Maren Wolters, the Managing Director of German Airways:

“We are very pleased about this new partnership.”

“We are expecting a very demanding operation for which we are well equipped.”

“Both airlines share the same passion for excellent service and travel comfort.”

The carrier will be helping Binter connect all seven major Canary Islands, and the eight airports within it, with Las Palmas being the base for this jet.

Binter also flies to the likes of:

  • Madeira, Portugal.
  • Cape Verde.
  • Palma de Mallorca.
  • France
  • Italy
  • West Africa.

As mentioned, Binter will be placing their own aircraft into maintenance over the Winter season, meaning that temporary replacement aircraft will be needed during this process.

Basing this aircraft in Las Palmas will provide a sufficient stopgap to make this happen, especially with the Winter season expecting to be relatively busy in that period.

Looking ahead, all eyes will be on German Airways to see how the Embraer E190 will perform in the Canary Islands over that period.

by Len Varley
written by Len Varley

A Sunclass flight operating from Stockholm, Sweden to Las Palmas, Spain conducted a precautionary diversion into Amsterdam last week after flight crew reported that one engine was running too hot during the cruise.

Sunclass flight DK1784, an Airbus A330-300, was operating from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ARN) to Las Palmas Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) on February 14.

Sunclass DK1784 Stockholm-Gran Canaria

The flight carried out an unscheduled diversion to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) after flight crew noted that one engine was running too hot in cruising flight.

The aircraft was in the cruise at flight level FL380 (38,000 feet) and within 50 nautical miles of Amsterdam when flight crew elected to carry out the precautionary diversion.

The aircraft conducted a drift down procedure to the reduced altitude of flight level FL230 before negotiating an arrival into AMS.

According to a report in the Aviation Herald, a listener monitoring radio transmissions between the aircraft and air traffic control (ATC) reported hearing the background transmissions from the aircraft’s ECAM Caution system.
