Following the above incidents, Ryanair is ordered to review its fuelling policy. The Irish Aviation Authority accepts all three planes left for the Spanish capital “with fuel in excess of Flight plan requirements” and also with fuel “in excess of the minimum diversion fuel’ required, so remained strictly within the rules.
