On July 10, a Ryanair flight between Greece and Germany was marked by a serious incident when a passenger, Ljubisa Karovic, was partially sucked through a broken window.


Michael O'Leary, the head of Ryanair, stated that initial investigations suggest that the damage may have been caused by a 'foreign object' in the engine, although there is still no definitive conclusion. O'Leary emphasized that the 18-year-old Boeing 737 engine had been recently checked.


The injured passenger suffered serious injuries, and his wife recounted how they helped him return to the plane. Witnesses reported an 'explosion' before the incident. The aircraft, operated by Malta Air, is now under investigation by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, and a preliminary report is expected in 28 days. If the damage is confirmed to be caused by an external object, responsibility could fall on Ryanair or Boeing.
