Incident on the runway of Brindisi Airport in Italy forced passengers of a Ryanair Boeing 737 to evacuate after flames erupted from one of the engines.Firefighters quickly arrived on the scene when flames and smoke were spotted coming from the left engine just before takeoff. Passengers were evacuated via inflatable slides, and all 184 people on board were unharmed.

This event occurred just two days after another Ryanair incident, where a plane experienced a tire explosion upon landing in Milan. Both situations have raised public concerns about the safety of Boeing aircraft, particularly the 737 models, which have already been under scrutiny following a series of technical failures.

Such aircraft incidents not only affect airlines but also create additional stress and delays for travelers. It is crucial for passengers to be aware of their rights to compensation in the event of flight cancellations or significant delays.

Recently, Boeing has faced intensified criticism, as issues with their planes have become widely discussed on social media. In January of this year, an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 had part of its fuselage detach mid-flight, raising serious questions about the company’s safety standards. Whistleblowers have even accused Boeing of rushing production at the expense of aircraft quality.
