The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has said it has appointed a technical advisor to investigate an incident ‌on a Ryanair-operated flight in which a passenger was partially sucked through a dislodged window.

The incident occurred on July 10 aboard a Boeing 737-800 operated by ⁠Ryanair’s subsidiary Malta Air.

The plane was flying from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, when a window broke shortly after takeoff, partially sucking a passenger through the opening and forcing the plane to divert back to Thessaloniki. [Reuters]
