Emergency services were put on standby after a Ryanair aircraft had an engine failure on approach to the northern Spanish city of Santander at the weekend.
Ryanair flight FR7152 from Dublin to Santander had the engine failure just before it landed at its destination on Sunday.
The airline confirmed today that the captain requested emergency services to be on standby. The aircraft landed safely and all passengers disembarked as normal.
Ryanair has not revealed what caused the engine failure
Passengers on the return flight were delayed by some five hours before they were transferred to a spare aircraft.
The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has confirmed it received a report about a technical incident on the flight.
A spokesman for the IAA said it is not carrying out an investigation as the airline's response was conducted in accordance with established procedures.
