Passenger partially sucked out of plane after 'window dislodged in-flight'

A passenger was partially pulled out of a Ryanair aircraft after a passenger-side window reportedly dislodged mid-flight, prompting an emergency return. The incident occurred on Friday on a flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen near Munich, operated by Ryanair subsidiary Malta Air. Passengers reported hearing a loud bang about an hour into the journey, with oxygen masks deploying and the aircraft initially losing altitude. Flight records cited by Flightradar24 show the plane climbed above 15,000 feet, then descended to around 6,000 feet to burn fuel before returning to Thessaloniki about an hour after takeoff. Ryanair said the aircraft landed normally and one passenger received medical assistance on the ground. A 61-year-old was later treated in hospital for neck and shoulder injuries and friction burns. The Boeing 737-800 seats up to 189.
