On July 10, 2026, a Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, experienced an incident shortly after takeoff when a passenger window dislodged. A 61-year-old Serbian man was partially sucked out of the window due to cabin depressurization, with his head and shoulders outside the aircraft. Fellow passengers, including his wife, helped pull him back inside, preventing a more severe outcome. The flight returned to Thessaloniki, where the man was hospitalized with neck and shoulder injuries and friction burns. The incident was reportedly caused by debris from an engine that struck the window. Ryanair confirmed the aircraft landed safely and provided a replacement flight for the remaining passengers. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the window failure.
