Ryanair airplanes stand idle on the tarmac during the first day of strike of the company's cabin crews at Brussels South airport, in Charleroi, Belgium, 25 July 2018. The strike is expected to affect some 23,500 passengers to and from Belgium: about 16,500 in Charleroi and more than 7,000 in Brussels Airport. Ryanair cabin crews demand better wages and working conditions. Media reports say that the airline had cancelled some 600 flights on the two days with up to 100,000 passengers having to find alternative routes or accept a refunding.

The flight from Berlin landed safely in Memmingen, about 115 km (70 miles) west of Munich, after bad weather prompted the pilot to initiate the emergency landing, Bavaria police said in a statement.
Among the injured were a woman who sustained a head injury, her two-year-old toddler who suffered bruises and a 59-year-old woman complaining of back pain, police said. All three were treated in hospital, while other injuries were treated at the scene.
Ryanair said in a statement on Thursday that the flight’s captain had requested medical assistance ahead of landing.
The airline, which apologised to those affected, saidit provided a bus service from Memmingen to Milan late on Wednesday as well as a replacement flight early on Thursday.
