- According to the preliminary report, No. 2 engine on the Boeing 737 failed minutes after takeoff on July 10, after which a broken fan blade damaged the fuselage at several points.
- The passenger in seat 11F was partially pulled through the damaged window and seriously injured before other travelers pulled him back inside and a physician traveling on the flight treated him.
- The aircraft carried 149 passengers and six crew members, returned immediately to Thessaloniki International Airport, and caused no other injuries.
- Feathers and other possible bird-strike evidence were found inside the failed engine, but investigators do not know whether the remains came from July 10; the final report is expected in 12 to 24 months.
