Ryanair's fleet has been under scrutiny following a harrowing incident in which a passenger was nearly sucked out of a window on a flight from Greece to Germany. Ljubisa Karović was saved by his wife, Svetlana Grković, and two other passengers after an engine failure resulted in parts smashing an acrylic window on the Boeing 737 operated by Ryanair subsidiary Malta Air.

We are very happy with safety across all of our five airlines, they operate at the highest standards of European aviation regulations.

The airline has maintained that its planes are safe, citing a strong safety record and a relatively young fleet. However, the incident has raised concerns about the safety of the Boeing 737, which has been involved in several high-profile incidents in recent years.

Despite the incident, Ryanair's bookings remain strong, with the airline reporting a surge in summer bookings. The airline's group chief financial officer, Neil Sorahan, has attributed this to the fact that travellers are not deterred by safety concerns, but rather by other factors such as travel restrictions and conflict in the Middle East.
