On July 10, 2026, a Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki to Munich experienced a serious in-flight emergency when a cabin window broke shortly after takeoff. The incident resulted from a malfunction associated with the aircraft's engine, leading to rapid cabin decompression. Passengers reported chaotic scenes, with many expressing panic as a male passenger, a 61-year-old Serbian, was partially sucked out of the broken window. Eyewitness accounts described him hanging halfway out, prompting fellow passengers to pull him back inside to safety.
The flight, which had already started its descent, returned to Thessaloniki's Makedonia Airport after the emergency was declared. Medical teams were waiting upon landing, allowing immediate treatment for the injured passenger, who reportedly suffered from burns. Three other passengers were also taken to the hospital but were discharged shortly thereafter. The airline confirmed the incident and later announced plans for a rescue flight to continue the journey to Munich. The flight raised alarm among those aboard, with testimonies indicating that many passengers were in tears during the ordeal.
