Air investigators recommend a review of training after cabin crew members struggled to open exits for passengers when a Boeing 737's engine caught fire. Cabin crew battled to open emergency doors of the Ryanair plane at Stansted Airport on 27 February 2002.
Six passengers who climbed on to the plane's wing were ordered back in, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch report said.
All 117 on the Dublin to Stansted flight were eventually led to safety.
'Evacuation timely'
The report stated that Ryanair's "evacuation was timely".
The decision to shut down the engine and evacuate the aircraft was also considered to be an appropriate initial response to the situation.
A Ryanair spokesperson said the operator "welcomed the findings of the UK Air Accident Investigation Board report published earlier this month, where a number of operational recommendations were made".
