The airline reported: "This flight from London Stansted to Lublin (29 Jan) experienced a cockpit warning light indicating a possible flaps issue, which together with crosswinds at Lublin, caused the aircraft to divert to Warsaw Chopin. The crew alerted the Warsaw fire services and the aircraft performed a flapless landing, which was otherwise normal. The aircraft was inspected by Ryanair engineers who repaired the flaps fault and cleared the aircraft to return to service."
