A Ryanair flight from London crashed into a barrier on the runway after landing at a Greek airport, leaving the jet’s wing wrecked. 

The Boeing 737 departed London Stansted Airport on Wednesday morning and experienced ‘severe turbulence’ before landing and colliding with a fence at Kalamata International Airport.

Emergency services rushed to the scene, but terrified passengers were told to stay on the plane despite fire concerns. 

Images show the damage made to the plane, with the wing appearing to be torn. 

According to a spokesperson for Ryanair, Flight FR6080 landed safely, but while taxiing, ‘the wing tip came in contact with a fence at Kalamata Airport.’

‘The aircraft subsequently continued to stand, and passengers disembarked normally.

‘The aircraft then underwent the required inspections and maintenance prior to its return to service’, the spokesperson added.

Passengers onboard the plane described hearing a ‘loud banging sound’ before the collision.

 A source told The Sun: ‘You could feel the impact. 

‘There was an announcement that everyone had to wait on the plane for the fire brigade.

‘With the wing damaged the way it was, why wouldn’t you evacuate the plane first?’

‘Everyone was scared – it was the fact they said wait on the plane even though there was clearly a risk of fire.’

The source also mentioned how it was ‘weird’ that there was ‘no signal for seatbelts while there was turbulence’.  

There were no reported injuries. 

The terrifying jet incident comes just a week after the Air India tragedy that left at least 270 dead. 

After taking off from Ahmedabad, a passenger plane bound for London crashed into a medical college last Thursday, resulting in the deaths of 241 of the 242 passengers on board and numerous others on the ground.

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, received treatment at a local hospital, where he told doctors that immediately after the plane took off, it began descending and suddenly split in two.

His seat was placed right next to the emergency door, which he says came off when the plane hit the ground. 

Astonishing footage taken near the crash site showed Mr Ramesh with visible injuries hobbling away from the jet before he was rushed to hospital for treatment. 

There were 53 British national on board Flight AI171 when it crashed into a residential area near the airport, as well as 159 nations, seven Portuguese citizens and a Canadian.  

The Indian government has launched an investigation into the fatal crash of the London-bound plane that came down in a residential area of Ahmedabad.

Vishwash was yesterday seen at the funeral of his brother, who was also onboard the doomed flight.
