Passenger 'partially sucked out of window' on Ryanair flight

A Ryanair flight was forced to make a emergency landing after a passenger was reportedly partially sucked out of a window.

The flight from to Memmingen ⁠airport in Germany had to make an emergency landing at ‌Thessaloniki in Greece shortly after take-off ​on Friday.

Local media in Greece reported ‌that a piece of engine broke off and smashed a window, causing the cabin to decompress and sucking one ⁠passenger partially out of the ​window.

Two industry sources ​confirmed to Reuters news agency that the passenger was partially ‌sucked out of a window after a jet window was "dislodged".

Videos posted ⁠on social media from the inside of the plane showed a ⁠broken window and oxygen ​masks dangling from
the ceiling.

Ryanair said in a statement that the plane had to emergency land "when a passenger window dislodged inflight".

"The aircraft landed normally and passengers returned to ‌the terminal," the statement added.

"One passenger requested and received medical assistance on the ground in Thessaloniki.

"In order to minimise any delay, a replacement aircraft was arranged to bring passengers to Memmingen."
