You could feel the impact,” the flyer added.Several flyers reported that the descent was particularly rough, without prior warning or seat belt announcement before shaking began. According to passengers, the crew later advised them to brace themselves for a bumpy landing due to unfavorable weather conditions.A spokesperson for Ryanair said: “This flight from London Stansted to Kalamata (June 18) was a taxi to stand when the wing tip came into contact with a fence at Kalamata airport.”“The plane then remained standing and passengers normally got out. The aircraft then underwent the required inspections and maintenance prior to the return to the service.”After the collision, passengers were left as instructed by the cabin crew while airport emergency teams arrived to assess the situation.Some passengers expressed their concern about the fact that it was on the plane, but the crew followed standard safety procedures, so that everyone held on board until the respondents could rule out any immediate danger.
