Absolute Nightmare’: Ryanair Flight to Mallorca Hits Severe Turbulence

terrifying ​Turbulence: Ryanair ⁤Flight​ to Mallorca Encounters extreme Winds

A flight from Eindhoven to mallorca on December 22nd ⁢turned into a‍ harrowing experience for ​passengers as‌ the Ryanair⁢ plane battled strong winds during landing. ⁣Video footage captured the ⁢intense turbulence and the palpable fear among those on ⁣board.

26-year-old ‍Águeda⁤ Pastor, ⁤who was⁢ on the flight, described the ordeal as ⁤”an absolute nightmare” to the Spanish newspaper Crónica Balear. “Many people thought their last hour had⁤ come,” she‍ shared, recalling the moment the plane was caught in⁤ the midst of the storm.

The ​flight was initially normal until the plane approached Mallorca, where a powerful storm was raging⁢ with⁣ wind gusts exceeding 100 kilometers per hour. Despite warnings about potential turbulence, passengers were unprepared for​ the extreme conditions they encountered.

“When we landed it was like we were falling ⁣through the‍ air for five ‌seconds.”

after the first landing attempt was ⁤aborted, the pilot informed passengers about the difficulties caused by the ⁤strong​ winds ⁢and ⁢the possibility of diverting to Valencia. The second landing attempt was even more ‍terrifying. Pastor described a “super abrupt descent,” like⁤ “falling⁤ through the air for ⁢about ⁤five seconds,” followed by ​violent⁣ shaking.

The ⁣fear inside ⁢the cabin was palpable, with children crying, people screaming, ⁤and one passenger even resorting to prayer. Pastor recounted,‌ “I thought: as‍ long as the masks ​don’t come out,‍ I’ll be fine.”

The pilot ​eventually managed to land the plane ​safely ⁤in Palma, but‍ the ordeal left passengers shaken.”Half of‍ the ‌people came out crying, the rest still couldn’t believe what had happened. There were also people who were throwing​ up,” Pastor said.

In a statement ‌to De Telegraaf, ⁤a Ryanair spokesperson downplayed the incident, claiming that “the‍ landing was normal, in accordance with Ryanair’s procedure.”⁤ They ‍explained that the crew had performed⁢ a “go-around” due to turbulence‌ during the initial landing attempt.

**Interviewer:** Thank ⁢you for⁣ speaking with us,Ms. Pastor. Your flight from Eindhoven to Palma‍ on⁣ December 22nd encountered extreme turbulence during landing. Can you describe what the experience was like for you?



**Pastor:** It was​ absolutely terrifying. We had a ⁤normal ‌flight until we approached Palma. Then, the plane started⁤ shaking violently. The wind gusts were incredibly strong. ⁤People were screaming, children were crying, and I remember thinking that this might be it.



**Interviewer:** The pilot aborted the first landing‍ attempt and informed passengers about the⁤ strong winds.What happened during the second attempt?



**Pastor:** It was‌ even worse. It was like ⁣we were falling through the air for about five seconds. The entire plane shuddered violently. There were people praying, people vomiting… ‍it was absolute chaos.



**Interviewer:** Ryanair has stated⁢ that⁢ the landing was normal and in accordance with their procedure. How ‍does that⁤ statement resonate with your experience?



**Pastor:** Honestly, I find it hard to believe. I’ve never been on a​ flight this frightening. Half the people who disembarked were crying, and the rest looked completely shaken. Describing that as ⁢”normal” ⁤seems ‌dismissive of the genuine fear passengers experienced.



**Interviewer:** Do you think more could have been done to prepare passengers for the potential turbulence?



**Pastor:** I’m not sure. ⁤Maybe more detailed warnings could have helped, but ultimately, you can’t predict these ⁢powerful gusts.



**Interviewer:** This incident raises questions about passenger safety and dialog during turbulent situations. Looking back, what lessons⁣ can be learned from Flight FR2639?



**Pastor:** I think it’s important for airlines to be clear with passengers about potential dangers. Clear and honest communication can help people stay calm during frightening situations.





**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing your ‍experience, ⁤Ms. Pastor.
