A Ryanair airliner from London has damaged its wing after landing in Greece.

Pictures on social media show the Boeing 737 Max with a damaged right wing tip.

Such damage can only be caused by a collision with an object on the ground.

Flight FR6080 had reportedly suffered from “severe turbulence” in its flight between Italy and Greece on Wednesday before those aboard were claimed to have heard a “huge bang”.

“The crew said it was going to be a bumpy landing,” an unidentified source told The Sun.

“But while it was taxiing down the runway towards the red and white barrier at the end, the plane turned and everyone heard this loud banging sound.

“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.”
