FR1624 from Lodz to East Midlands - 29/04/08
While taxiing, the nose wheel of the aircraft due to operate flight FR1624 from Lodz to Nottingham East Midlands sank into the soft stopway surface off the beginning of the runway. The aircraft, which is undamaged, was moving slowly and had not started its take off procedure.
All passengers disembarked normally from the aircraft using the front steps and were bussed to the terminal. The aircraft suffered no damage and our engineers are on route to move the aircraft to the terminal building. Ryanair is currently arranging coaches to bring passengers to Warsaw where a spare aircraft will bring them to East Midlands.
This incident has been reported to the IAA and until it has been fully investigated we will not be in a position to comment further
