Passengers aboard a Ryanair flight FR3532 from Eindhoven to Palma de Mallorca (Boeing 737-800 reg. EI-DWG) experienced harrowing turbulence and an aborted landing attempt due to gale-force winds on Sunday night. The plane finally landed safely at Palma airport on its second attempt, but the ordeal left many passengers in tears, praying, or nauseous.

Águeda Pastor, a passenger, described the descent as a terrifying experience with sudden drops and violent shaking. Panic spread throughout the cabin, with children crying and passengers fearing for their lives.
Despite the challenges, the crew managed a successful landing, met with a mix of applause and emotional relief. Similar incidents have occurred recently, highlighting the severe weather challenges faced by flights in the region.
