Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said on Monday ​that an initial finding from a probe into ⁠an incident in which a ​passenger was ​partly ‌sucked out ⁠of ​a Boeing 737's broken window suggested "foreign object damage."

"Initial indication would suggest ‌it looks like a ‌foreign object damage to the engine on ​takeoff at Thessaloniki, but we don't have, we can't say that definitively," O'Leary ‌told analysts while ​presenting Ryanair's results for the April-June quarter.

He added that a ​draft ‌report ⁠on ‌the ‌incident would be issued in about ⁠28 days, followed by ​a more detailed report.
