A Ryanair passenger was injured when a cabin window 'dislodged' in midair

• A Ryanair Boeing 737 Max’s cabin window was “dislodged” during a flight between Greece and Germany.
• Several media outlets reported that a passenger was partially sucked out of the window.
• Ryanair said one passenger received medical help after the plane diverted to its departure airport.

Flight 1879 departed Thessaloniki, Greece, about 6 a.m. for Memmingen, Germany — a roughly two-hour flight.

Roughly 10 minutes after takeoff, the Boeing 737 Max U-turned before circling nearby and landing back at Thessaloniki.

Video and images published by Radio Thessaloniki showed the blown-out window and oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling.

In a statement, a Ryanair spokesperson did not confirm reports of a passenger being partially pulled out of the plane, but did say that the plane U-turned “when a passenger window dislodged inflight.”

It added that “one passenger requested and received medical assistance on the ground in Thessaloniki.” The plane landed normally, and a replacement aircraft operated a new flight which departed at 9:53 a.m.

Passengers landed in Memmingen about four hours later than they were initially scheduled.
