New Blog Post: Ryanair engine failure over Greece - What we know so far
I've just published a new blog post!
On 10 July 2026 Ryanair flight 1879 (operated by Malta Air), from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, operated by a Boeing 737-8AS aircraft experienced an uncontained engine failure as it was climbing out from Thessaloniki. Debris destroyed a cabin window, causing a rapid decompression. The aircraft returned to Thessaloniki where it landed safely.
In this blog post I take a look at what we know so far about this event. I will examine what the preliminary report details and what it could mean for the investigation going forward.
