The incident resulted in injuries to at least nine passengers, including a mother and her toddler. The flight crew diverted the plane for an emergency landing at Memmingen Airport in Germany due to unfavorable weather conditions at Munich.
According to reports, the turbulence struck as the aircraft was flying through German airspace. A total of three passengers were hospitalized, while others received medical attention at the airport. The Aviation Herald noted that supercell thunderstorms over Bavaria likely caused the turbulence.
Ryanair confirmed the incident and stated: "FR8 from Berlin to Milan on 4th June diverted to Memmingen after experiencing some air turbulence.
