Man partly sucked out of broken window on flight from Greece

A 61-year-old man was partially sucked out of a dislodged airplane window during a flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, operated by Malta Air, a Ryanair subsidiary. The incident occurred approximately six minutes after takeoff when the plane experienced a sudden loss of cabin pressure and began descending. Fellow passengers reportedly pulled the man back into the aircraft. He sustained neck, shoulder injuries, and friction burns and was treated at a local hospital. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in the United States was informed of the event, which was attributed to a 'right engine issue and cabin decompression.' The investigation will be led by North Macedonia’s Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation Committee. Flight data indicates the plane climbed above 15,000 feet before descending to burn fuel and returning to Thessaloniki about an hour after departure.
