A Malta Air Boeing 737-800 on behalf of Ryanair, registration 9H-QEP performing flight FR-4017 from Porto (Portugal) to Milan Malpensa (Italy), was enroute at FL340 over the Pyrenees when the aircraft encountered severe turbulence causing luggage to fall onto passengers. Four passengers received injuries prompting the crew to divert to Toulouse (France) for a safe landing about 20 minutes later.
One passenger suffered a dislocated shoulder, another a neck injury.
A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration 9H-QAS reached Milan with a delay of about 3:45 hours.
The aircraft remained on the ground for about 14 hours, then resumed service.
On Apr 6th 2026 Spain's CIAIAC reported the aircraft encountered severe turbulence at FL340 between waypoints GOSVI (N42.6 W1.37) and TOPTU (N42.8 W0.19). As result of the turbulence two cabin crew were seriously injured, six passengers received minor injuries. The aircraft diverted to Toulouse. The CIAIAC is investigating.
