A Ryanair flight en route from London Stansted to Brindisi, Italy, was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Memmingen, Germany, after a nine-year-old boy suffered severe burns from spilt boiling tea. The incident, which occurred just over an hour into the flight, prompted the pilot to divert to the nearest airport to seek immediate medical assistance for the child.

The young passenger, who had scalded himself accidentally, was found to have third-degree burns and required airlift by air ambulance to a local hospital for urgent treatment. The local police confirmed that the burns were not caused by any third party but were the result of the child’s accidental spill. The incident led to a significant unplanned delay for passengers who were headed to Southern Italy.
Authorities continue to investigate the specifics of the incident while the injured child receives necessary medical care. Ryanair has not yet released an official statement regarding the mishap or any changes that might be implemented to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
