ItalyA Ryanair flight departing from Thessaloniki, Greece, bound for Germany experienced a window rupture shortly after takeoff, leading to an emergency landing back at Thessaloniki Airport. The incident occurred during the climb phase, approximately eight minutes after departure, when a loud noise from the right engine was reported by passengers. Fragments from the engine struck the passenger window, causing it to shatter. Oxygen masks were deployed due to decompression.

Ryanair confirmed the incident and stated that a replacement aircraft departed Thessaloniki at 9:53 local time to accommodate affected travelers. The cause of the technical failure remains under investigation.
