A Ryanair (Malta Air) 737-800 registration 9H-QEU was climbing through 15,000 feet about six minutes after departure from Thessaloniki when one of the cabin windows on the right side of the aircraft shattered. A passenger nearest the window was partial sucked out of the aircraft, with their head becoming stuck in the window. Other passengers and crew were able to pull the passenger back into the aircraft. Upon landing, the passenger was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The flight, which was bound for Memmingen, immediately descended to 6,000 feet to burn fuel for 30 minutes before safely returning to Thessaloniki at 04:09 UTC, approximately one hour after departure.
