Two Ryanair crew hospitalised over turbulence-induced injuries

Two cabin crew members were hospitalised after they sustained injuries on board a Ryanair flight from Spain to Belgium on Wednesday night.

Ryanair flight FR-2829 from Reus in Spain to Brussels Charleroi airport encountered severe turbulence over the Pyrenees while still climbing to its cruising altitude. Two cabin crew members were injured in the incident and the pilot declared an emergency, requesting permission to divert to Bordeaux in France and land.

While Ryanair has described their injuries as ‘minor’ it’s understood at least one of the injured crew members was lifted off her feet and struck the ceiling of the Boeing 737-800 jet.
