✈️ Turbulence Trouble: Ryanair Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Bavaria

-



What was expected to be a short, uneventful journey across central Europe quickly turned into a serious inflight emergency for passengers aboard Ryanair Flight FR8. The Boeing 737-800, operating on a scheduled route from Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) in Germany to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) in Italy, encountered severe turbulence while flying over southern Germany on the evening of June 4, 2025.

The flight was covering an approximate distance of 510 miles (820 kilometers) between the German and Italian hubs. However, instead of continuing its descent into Milan, the crew made the decision to divert to Memmingen Airport (FMM) in southern Bavaria, landing safely after experiencing intense turbulence mid-flight.

🚨 Multiple Injuries Reported Onboard

According to the Swabia South/West Police Department, seven people sustained injuries during the encounter with turbulence—six passengers and one flight attendant. The extent of the injuries was not immediately disclosed, but emergency medical services were standing by when the aircraft landed in Memmingen.

Authorities did not confirm whether seatbelt signs had been illuminated at the time of the incident. However, turbulence-related injuries often occur when passengers are out of their seats or not properly secured.

The aircraft is powered by two Rolls-Royce BR715-C1-30 engines and has been a reliable member of Delta’s short-haul fleet, primarily operating domestic routes across the United States.

The pilots reported seeing smoke rising from beneath the cockpit floor and immediately donned oxygen masks. At the same time, thick smoke began to fill the cabin, severely limiting visibility for bot...
