Ryanair's Flight to Tenerife Does a Panic U-Turn, Shakes Passengers Like Cocktail
KEY POINTS
- â˘Ryanair Flight FR1121 left Birmingham Airport at 3:05 p.m. on December 28th but quickly returned due to severe turbulence.
- â˘The plane's emergency code 7700 alerted air traffic control to a critical issue, and some passengers received medical care.
- â˘The flight resumed later at 9:06 p.m., continuing the journey to Tenerife after the plane safely landed and passengers disembarked.
On December 28th, Ryanair Flight FR1121 dared to turn a sunny Birmingham-to-Tenerife flight into a live-action rollercoaster by departing 15 minutes late, only to find that turbulence is the ultimate party crasher. About 3:05 p.m. saw the Boeing 737 Max squawk emergency code 7700âfancy pilot talk for 'brace yourselves, weâre freaking out.' A few shaken survivors got medical attention afterward while the plane actually descended to 10,000 feet, hinting at a possible pressurization drama. Despite the chaos and silence from Ryanair on injury counts or procedures, the flight heroically relaunched at 9:06 p.m., proving stubbornness can be an airline virtue.
