A Ryanair flight, which was covering the Leeds-Lanzarote route, had to request an emergency landing in Guacimeta this Tuesday due to lack of fuel, according to the newspaper La Provincia.
Although the plane was destined for Lanzarote, when it arrived near the airport, it had to wait for two flights to land first, according to La Provincia. Therefore, it had to remain at altitude longer than expected.
Therefore, the pilot was forced to ask the control tower to move forward his landing turn due to the lack of fuel. The control tower gave priority to this flight, which landed normally, according to the same sources.
In addition, instead of landing through the area closest to the sea, he had to request permission to do so through the closest to the road, due to the wind.
