A Ryanair flight from East Midlands Airport had to be delayed for a number of hours today after a fuel leak during its turnaround this morning.   The 737 jet was operating flight FR9085 to Alicante in Spain, with a scheduled departure time of 7.05am. However, the leak saw fuel pouring out and all over the apron causing an emergency response and leading to a delay of a number of hours.  

A spokesperson for the airport said: "A technical issue during re-fuelling delayed the departure of a Ryanair flight to Alicante this morning. The flight is due to leave early afternoon. It has had no impact on other operations."
