Overview

• A false fire warning light shortly after midnight on July 5 halted the Palma–Manchester flight and triggered an emergency evacuation via slides and, in some cases, wings.
• Regional emergency services dispatched four ambulances alongside firefighters and police to the Palma de Mallorca tarmac.
• Eighteen people sustained injuries ranging from ankle sprains to, according to some passengers, broken bones; six were hospitalized across Clinica Rotger and Hospital Quironsalud Palmplanas.
• Ryanair characterized the incident as a false alarm, apologized to travellers and emphasized the use of standard disembarkation procedures.
• To minimise disruption, the airline organised a replacement aircraft that departed Palma at 07:05 on July 5.
