Ryanair fire alert: 18 people injured on plane at Palma airport as passengers flee

By staff5 July 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Emergency services were called to Majorca’s Palma Airport after a fire was feared to have broken out on a Ryanair plane after midnight this morning, according to authorities

Passengers evacuate Ryanair plane at Majorca’s Palma airport

Eighteen people have been injured after a false fire alarm on a Ryanair plane at Majorca’s Palma Airport – as passengers jumped from wings.

Some passengers on board were filmed abandoning the plane via one of its wings before jumping to the tarmac as firefighters and police rushed to the scene.

Regional medical emergency response co-ordinators said 18 people needed assistance with what are being described locally as minor injuries.

Six had to be taken to hospital. Three were reportedly taken to a private clinic in Palma called Clínica Rotger and the other three to Hospital Quironsalud Palmplanas which is also in the island capital. It was not immediately clear what type of injuries they had suffered.

A confused airport worker was overheard telling a colleague in a walkie-talkie message: “Do you know the plane has emergency exits?” as frightened travellers were filmed jumping to the tarmac from one of its wings in their rush to get away.

He added: “Plane about to leave from apron ten or eight and now the people are jumping from the wing onto the ground. Something’s happening, something’s happening, they’re evacuating the plane. Now the firefighters are coming.”

The incident is said to have caused “moments of great tension” with the passengers seen jumping from the plane wing reportedly “acting out of fear.”

Most travellers are understood to have exited the plane in a more orderly fashion.

Ryanair confirmed the flight was discontinued due to a “false fire warning.”

It said: “This flight from Palma to Manchester, on July4, discontinued take-off due to a false fire warning light indication. Passengers were disembarked using the inflatable slides and returned to the terminal.

“While disembarking, a small number of passengers encountered very minor injuries (ankle sprains, etc.) and crew requested immediate medical assistance.

“To minimise disruption to passengers, we quickly arranged a replacement aircraft to operate this flight, which departed Palma at 07:05 this morning.

“We sincerely apologise to affected passengers for any inconvenience caused.”

A spokesman for a regional government-run emergency response coordination centre confirmed early this morning: “We received an alert about a fire on a plane on the ground at Palma airport at 00.36am today.

“Four ambulances were sent to the scene which were two basic life support units and two advanced life support unit.

“Eighteen people were injured and received medical assistance of whom six were taken to hospital.

“They were all minor. Three went to the Clinica Rotger and three to the Palmaplanas Hospital.”
