On this week’s episode of AvTalk, a Ryanair (Malta Air) 737-800 suffers an uncontained engine failure after departing Thessaloniki, Greece, resulting in a shattered cabin window and a passenger partially sucked out of the cabin. We discuss the specifics on this accident and its similarities with Southwest 1380.

German investigators release their preliminary report on the Lufthansa 787 that suffered a gear retraction last month in Frankfurt.

In a first on Flightradar24, nine 7700 squawks happen near-simultaneously—we dig into what happened at Gatwick airport on Tuesday.

And the bidding for easyJet heats up as Apollo Global Management bests Castlelake’s bid for the airline.
