On the morning of July 10, 2026, a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 flying from Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) in Greece to Memmingen Airport (FMM) in Germany was forced to make an emergency landing back in Thessaloniki after an engine failure caused debris to damage the aircraft's window ¹²⁴.

Incident Details

The incident occurred shortly after takeoff ²⁸. Debris from a dramatic engine failure struck the plane, causing a cabin window to dislodge or shatter ¹⁵⁷. This led to a sudden drop in cabin pressure ⁶.
