AustriaA Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, had to turn back shortly after takeoff due to a broken window on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The incident occurred at an altitude of approximately 4,500 meters, during which a passenger sitting by the damaged window was nearly sucked out. Other passengers managed to pull him back inside before the plane descended to a lower altitude. Oxygen masks were deployed in the cabin, and the pilot decided to return to Thessaloniki airport. The cause of the window breaking remains unclear, though initial reports suggest part of the engine may have detached, striking the window. The affected passenger, who suffered neck injuries and burns from friction, was taken to a hospital in Thessaloniki. Ryanair confirmed the incident but did not provide further details on the cause.
