Pilots of the FR9378 hit the brakes and aborted take-off at the last moment due to a 'technical issue' with the aircraft.
Passengers were taken back to gate and told to wait for the next available plane.
Birmingham Airport said that the issue was to be taken up with the airline.
A spokesperson for Ryanair said: "This flight from Birmingham to Seville (7 Nov) did not take-off as planned due to a minor technical issue with the aircraft.
"To minimize disruption to passengers, Ryanair arranged an alternative aircraft which has since departed for Seville at 15:43 local time."
