A Ryanair<\/a> flight bound for Tenerife was forced to return back to the UK following a mid-flight emergency declaration.<\/p>\n

The Boeing 737 MAX, which departed from Birmingham Airport around 2.50pm, declared an emergency (squawk 7700) over Brittany, France, after reaching an altitude of 35,000ft.<\/p>\n

Passengers reported to The Aviation Herald that the aircraft experienced turbulence, resulting in injuries to several individuals, during the time cabin service was underway.<\/p>\n

The plane made a safe landing back at Birmingham approximately one hour and 32 minutes post-departure. According to AirLive, it was stationed at a remote stand within the airport for paramedics to attend to passengers.<\/p>\n

The severity of the injuries is yet to be determined. Ryanair has not issued a statement at the time of publishing, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Mirror has reached out<\/a> to Ryanair for a comment.<\/p>\n
