Ryanair has moved to reassure travellers its planes are safe after a passenger was saved from being sucked out of a window mid-flight, saying it had been in touch with his family.

This month, Ljubisa Karović was sucked out headfirst after an engine failure resulted in parts smashing an acrylic window during a flight from Thessaloniki in Greece to Memmingen, near Munich in Germany.
