Severe Turbulence Injures Eight on Ryanair Flight Diverted to Germany

On a recent Ryanair flight from Berlin to Milan, eight passengers sustained injuries due to "severe turbulence," prompting the aircraft to divert to Memmingen Airport in southern Germany. Included among those injured was a two-year-old child who experienced bruising and a woman who suffered a head injury. Bavarian police reported that while three individuals required hospital treatment, others received care at the scene.

The turbulence occurred Wednesday night, forcing the flight to divert because landing in Munich was not feasible due to adverse weather conditions. The flight arrived safely at Memmingen Airport around 20:44 local time, where medical assistance awaited. Ryanair expressed regret over the incident and coordinated alternative transport for affected passengers to continue their journey to Milan. A total of 179 passengers and six crew members were onboard, with ages of the injured ranging from two to 59 years old. All passengers were checked for injuries as a precaution following the incident.
