Ryanair says one of its aircraft is forced to make an emergency landing at Thessaloniki airport in Greece shortly after take-off on Friday after a window becomes “dislodged.” Multiple reports say a cabin problem leads to decompression and that a passenger is partially sucked out of a window, with local media describing debris associated with the incident. One outlet also reports that a piece of an engine broke off and smashed the window, while others focus on the window being dislodged.
Ryanair states that the aircraft lands normally and that passengers return to the terminal. The airline also says one person receives medical assistance, though it does not provide further details. Separate reports cite industry sources indicating there is a passenger partially pulled toward the window during the incident.
Authorities and investigators are not described in the available accounts, but the incident prompts a medical response and an emergency landing so the flight can be brought to safety at Thessaloniki.
