Ryanair Passenger Partially Sucked Through Window Mid-Flight
A passenger was partially sucked out after the cabin window dislodged, and Ryanair said one person received medical care before the flight returned safely.
- On Friday, July 10, 2026, a Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, returned to Thessaloniki after an engine failure caused a passenger window to detach mid-flight.
- Greek media reported that debris from an engine detached and shattered the aircraft's window over North Macedonia, forcing the Boeing 737-800 to abort its route.
- One passenger told Radio Thessaloniki, "Most of us had fallen asleep; there was a noise, like a tyre bursting," while fellow travelers pulled a man back inside the cabin.
- Four passengers were transported to the hospital for medical checks, with one Serbian tourist hospitalized for friction burns, while the airline arranged a replacement aircraft for Memmingen.
- Aviation authorities are conducting an investigation into the engine failure, though officials confirmed there was no crack or structural breach in the fuselage of the aircraft.
