Ryanair CEO disputes report that an injured passenger was partly sucked out a shattered window

On Thursday in London, the CEO of Ryanair publicly disputed reports that a passenger was partially sucked out of a shattered aircraft window during a July flight. The incident resulted in injuries to a passenger named Ljubisa Karovic, who sustained a neck and shoulder injury alongside friction burns after the window shattered shortly after takeoff.

The dispute centers on the exact nature of how the passenger was injured during the disruptive event. While initial reports suggested a partial ejection through the broken window frame, the airline's executive leadership has pushed back against this narrative, though specific details regarding the cause of the window failure remain limited in the available reports.
