The Boeing 737 returned to Thessaloniki after a cabin window came loose at about 20,000ft, causing a sudden loss of cabin pressure. A 61-year-old Serbian passenger suffered injuries after being partly pulled outside while still wearing his seatbelt, and fellow passengers helped hold him until the plane landed safely. Ryanair said one passenger received medical treatment and a replacement aircraft completed the journey.
