Flight from Marrakech Diverted to Girona: Passengers Routed to Perpignan
On September 25, 2026, a Ryanair flight scheduled to land in Perpignan, France, unexpectedly diverted to Girona, Spain, due to adverse weather conditions. The flight, which took off from Marrakech at 9:02 AM, was supposed to touch down in Perpignan at 1:35 PM. However, as the aircraft approached its destination, it encountered a wind shear, a sudden change in wind speed or direction, prompting the pilot to execute a go-around maneuver. Ultimately, the plane landed safely at Girona-Costa Brava Airport at 2:09 PM.
The airport management in Perpignan confirmed that the decision to abort the landing was made in accordance with standard safety protocols. While such diversions are rare, the go-around procedure is a common safety measure taken in response to sudden weather changes, even when conditions at ground level do not appear particularly severe. Passengers were subsequently transported by bus from Girona to Perpignan to reach their original destination.
