Turbulence about Bavaria: Ryanair flight ends up in Memmingen in an emergency!

On the evening of June 5, 2025, a Ryanair flight from Berlin to Milan-Malpensa had to be emerged due to severe turbulence in Memmingen (Bavaria). The aircraft type was filled with 179 passengers and 6 crew members. The machine got into a massive storm cell over Bavaria, which led to an abrupt change of course. Pictures of the landing show both damage to the cabin ceiling and shocked travelers, with some passengers being thrown against the ceiling of the cabin. A passenger reported that during the turbulent phase he felt great fear and thought that the plane could break apart. In particular, a crew member was emotionally affected and broke out into tears.

The weather was particularly risky because the Kachelmann weather service documented a thunderstorm between Ulm and Memmingen. It was critically noticed that there was no continuous request from the flight crew to buckle up, while a mother was caught with her baby on the on -board toilet in this stressful situation. The aviation authority of southern Germany did not allow a further flight for the machine, and Ryanair organized buses for the affected passengers for onward journey.

injured and medical care

According to the information from Stern.de , a total of nine people were injured, including eight passengers and a crew member. Particularly worrying: A two -year -old child had to be taken to the hospital with bruises, as did a woman with a headplace wound and another passenger who complained of back pain. Despite the dramatic circumstances, there were no reports of damage to the plane itself, but a crew member was medical care.

The weather conditions that led to this emergency landing also had far -reaching effects in the region. Several houses were uninhabitable in Ulm, and roofs of row houses were covered, while the fire brigade in Bavaria recorded over 50 missions to deal with fallen trees and fully run. In Lower Bavaria, the fire brigade had to master more than 40 missions. The German Weather Service (DWD) also warned of other storms that are expected in northwestern Germany for Thursday.

It is striking that the aviation sector is increasingly under pressure due to such critical incidents and the associated weather conditions. This is done at a time when the political debate about climate protection and air traffic gained intensity, as reported Statista Concerns such as the environmental policy concept "Flygskam", which has been distributed in Sweden since 2017, address the sense of shame that many people feel while flying.

The Ryanair has not yet made an official statement, but on her website it indicates possible storms and flight interruptions. This incident illustrates how quickly the security of air traffic can change and underlines the need for comprehensive measures to improve weather forecasts and security protocols during uncertain weather conditions.
