What happened
On July 10, 2026, Ryanair flight FR1879 (operated by subsidiary Malta Air) suffered a window shattering incident shortly after takeoff from Thessaloniki, Greece (SKG) to Memmingen, Germany (FMM). Debris from an engine failure reportedly pierced the fuselage while the Boeing 737-800 was climbing through 15,000 feet. A passenger seated by the window was partially sucked out but pulled back in by companions. Oxygen masks deployed as the plane circled to burn fuel before landing back in Thessaloniki about an hour after departure. The affected passenger was hospitalized; three others were released. The aircraft remained on the ground in Thessaloniki
