Safety Checks and Crisis Management: Ryanair's Response to the Mid Air Incident The near disaster on a recent Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki to Memmingen has raised concerns about the safety of low cost carriers.
A mid air engine failure on a Malta Air operated Boeing 737 resulted in a passenger being sucked out of an acrylic window, but was fortunately prevented from falling to his death by his wife.
Ryanair officials have downplayed concerns, attributing the incident to a freak engine failure and praising the crew for returning the aircraft safely.
