After a successful landing, German medical services examined the passengers, taking 33 of them to hospital. A police spokesman reported that some of the passengers had experienced bleeding from their ears. The German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU), which deals with incidents involving aircraft, will retrieve the flight recorders in order to determine the cause of the cabin's loss of air pressure.

Some of the passengers decided to abort their journey after the incident. Ryanair, which is the largest airline in Europe by number of passenger, has agreed to compensate passengers for their hotel costs.
