One passenger requested and received medical assistance on the ground in Thessaloniki. <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">&#8220;In order to minimise any delay, a replacement aircraft was arranged to bring passengers to Memmingen which departed Thessaloniki at 9:53 local this morning. <\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">Flight tracking website Flightradar24 shows the plane began to turn around after about 22 minutes in the air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">It then burned fuel at low altitude for about half an hour before landing one hour and 15 minutes after take-off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">The plane has Ryanair livery but was operated by Malta Air, a subsidiary of the Irish company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">A replacement aircraft departed Thessaloniki at 9.53am local time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"A8Lwr BVYCX\">Want a quick and expert briefing on the biggest news stories?
