Ryanair flight returns to Thessaloniki after engine failure, passenger injured by debris

A Ryanair flight departing from Thessaloniki bound for Germany experienced a serious engine failure mid-flight, prompting the pilot to divert back to Thessaloniki. During the descent, part of the damaged engine reportedly broke off and struck a cabin window, resulting in a passenger sustaining minor injuries. Emergency services were on standby at Thessaloniki International Airport upon landing, though the plane landed safely and was relocated to a secure area. Four passengers were transported to the hospital for evaluation, with most receiving treatment and being released. Ryanair arranged for a replacement aircraft to transport most passengers to Munich. Aviation authorities are currently investigating the cause of the engine failure.

Ryanair plane makes emergency landing in Thessaloniki after window ‘dislodged’

A Ryanair flight departing from Thessaloniki, Greece, made an emergency landing shortly after takeoff on Friday due to a dislodged window. According to reports, the incident caused partial decompression of the cabin, leading to a passenger being partially sucked out of the window. The airline confirmed that one person required medical attention but did not specify the exact cause of the window failure. Greek media suggested that a piece of the engine broke off and struck the window, contributing to the decompression. Unverified videos shared on social media showed the damaged window and oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling. Ryanair stated that the aircraft landed safely and passengers were returned to the terminal.
