Ryanair Grounds 3 Planes Due to Cracks

The cracks were between the wing and the fuselage.

At least 3 Ryanair Boeing 737 planes have been grounded due to cracks between the wing and the fuselage. This is reported by The Guardian.

While other airlines, such as Australia's Qantas and America's Southwest, have disclosed the number of their planes affected by cracks, Ryanair, which operates the largest fleet of 737s in Europe, had previously refused to confirm how many planes had been damaged.

All 3 planes are already more than 15 years old. 

After these cases, in which cracks were found in many planes, UIA also decided to inspect its fleet. So far, no cracks have been found in UIA planes.

It recently became known that Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines is opening a new route from Kyiv to the city of Dalaman starting next year.
