Severe Turbulence Injures Eight on Ryanair Flight to Milan
A Ryanair flight from Berlin to Milan was diverted to Germany due to turbulence, injuring eight passengers, including a child.
The flight, which had 179 passengers and six crew members on board, was originally en route from Berlin to Milan when the captain sought medical assistance and opted to land at Memmingen due to adverse weather conditions that made Munich Airport unsuitable for landing. The plane successfully landed at approximately 20:44 local time without any additional incidents.
Ryanair expressed its apologies to the affected passengers and stated that arrangements for alternative transport to Milan were made later that night, along with a replacement flight for Thursday morning. Local authorities conducted checks on all passengers as a safety precaution to assess for injuries.
