A passenger reported that there was nothing unuusal until the brakes came on at relatively low speed, no unusual sounds, no unusual smells, no unusual vibrations. After the aircraft returned to the apron, a technician came on board and went straight to the cockpit and sat in the captain's seat. Soon after some noise was heard from below the cabin, obviously the maintenance folks triggered something mechanical, an odour developed on board. Obviously all attempts were unsuccessful, the crew announced, the flight would be postponed to the next day. The following day a Ryanair Boeing 737 was dispatched from Palma Mallorca, which took them to Vienna.
The airline reported the board computers showed a fault message at low speed prompting the crew to reject takeoff as a precaution. The issue could not immediately be solved on site, the passengers therefore were rebooked onto a replacement flight the following day and taken to hotels in Fuerteventura while waiting for the replacement flight. The issue was diagnosed as an indication problem of the board computer, technicians are still working the solve the issue.
A replacement Ryanair Boeing 737-800 registration EI-ENA reached Vienna with a delay of 26.5 hours.
The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Fuerteventura about 46 hours after the rejected takeoff.
