On a recent Ryanair flight from Berlin to Milan, eight passengers were hurt, prompting a diversion to Memmingen Airport in southern Germany after encountering severe turbulence. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday night, led to medical attention for three individuals, including a two-year-old child. The Bavarian police reported that the turbulence was attributed to adverse weather conditions, making landing at Munich Airport unfeasible. The captain successfully managed the diversion and requested medical aid in advance. The airline has since offered alternative transport arrangements for affected passengers. A detailed assessment found injuries spanning from ages two to fifty-nine, with thorough checks conducted for all on board.
