NTSB says Ryanair emergency on Boeing jet due to right engine issue

The NTSB says a Ryanair emergency on a Boeing 737 NG was triggered by a right-engine issue along with a cabin decompression event and a broken passenger window. The flight, operating from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, turned back and made an emergency landing in Greece on Friday morning shortly after take-off when a passenger window reportedly dislodged inflight. Ryanair said the aircraft landed safely and that one passenger received medical assistance on the ground in Thessaloniki, while the airline did not confirm details about the passenger’s injury when contacted by The Seattle Times. The aircraft was registered and operated by Malta Air, a Ryanair subsidiary. The NTSB stated it was notified by the Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation Committee of North Macedonia and that, under international aviation guidelines, North Macedonia will lead the investigation because the incident likely occurred there. The NTSB named an accredited representative and plans support with FAA, Boeing, and General Electric Aerospace.
