Ryanair CEO: initial probe suggests foreign object damage in smashed window incident
Investigators said a piece of engine debris smashed the cabin window, and Ryanair said a draft report is due in about 28 days.
- On July 10, a Boeing 737 en route to Germany made an emergency landing after an engine part shattered a window, nearly ejecting a passenger shortly after takeoff from Thessaloniki.
- Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary announced on Monday an initial probe suggests "foreign object damage" caused the incident; the 18-year-old aircraft had recently undergone a full engine overhaul.
- Ljubisa Karovic, a 61-year-old Serbian national, was pulled back into the cabin by his wife and two fellow passengers after being partially sucked out; he was subsequently hospitalized.
- The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation, working with the Federal Aviation Administration to determine why the engine component broke mid-flight.
- Investigators expect to issue a draft report on the incident in about 28 days, with detailed findings regarding the Boeing engine failure to follow.
