瑞安航空一架波音737-8AS客机7月10日当地时间6时21分在希腊上空发生发动机非包容性失效事故[1]。该航班号为1879号,从塞萨洛尼基起飞,目的地为梅明根,机上共载2名飞行员、4名乘务员和149名乘客(含1名婴儿)[1]。飞机在约16,000英尺(约4,877米)高度遭遇事故[1]。
发动机风扇叶片断裂脱落产生的碎片击碎舷窗,导致一名61岁的塞尔维亚籍男性乘客部分身体被吸出窗外,其后被诊断为摩擦性烧伤并送往塞萨洛尼基医院[1]。飞行员随后紧急下降,飞机安全返回[1]。
该波音737-8AS客机注册号为9H-QEU,机龄约18年,最近一次发动机检查为2024年5月,当时未发现异常[1]。值得注意的是,该发动机在事故前12个月曾四次疑似遭遇鸟击[1]。美国国家运输安全委员会已接受委托进行全面调查,预计需要一至两年完成[1]。
A Ryanair Boeing 737-8AS aircraft experienced an uncontained engine failure on July 10 at 6:21 a.m. local time while cruising over Greek airspace at approximately 16,000 feet [1]. The aircraft, registration number 9H-QEU, was operating as Flight 1879 from Thessaloniki to Memmingen with 2 pilots, 4 cabin crew members, and 149 passengers aboard, including one infant [1].
During the incident, a fractured engine fan blade detached and generated debris that struck and shattered a cabin window [1]. The impact resulted in a 61-year-old Serbian male passenger being partially sucked out of the window [1]. The passenger sustained friction burns and was hospitalized in Thessaloniki [1]. Following the emergency descent, the flight crew returned to the airport safely [1].
The Boeing 737-8AS, approximately 18 years old, had undergone its most recent maintenance inspection in May 2026 without any reported anomalies [1]. Records indicate the engine had experienced four suspected bird strike encounters during the 12 months preceding the accident [1]. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has accepted delegation to conduct a comprehensive investigation, with the process expected to take one to two years to complete [1].
