A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-DCR performing flight FR-2341 from Faro (Portugal) to Newcastle,EN (UK), was climbing out of Faro's runway 28 when the crew stopped the climb at FL110 and decided to return to Faro reporting a door open indication. The aircraft landed safely on runway 28 about 40 minutes after departure.

Passengers exaggerated on social media that a door flew open.

Portugal GPIAA reported they "have received a report from the mentioned flight with indication issues in one door that prompted the crew to an ATB. No structural or functional issues were reported. Based on the available and current information we have no reasons to open an investigation."

A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration EI-ENC departed with a delay of about 4.5 hours but needed to divert to Manchester,EN (UK) and further to Edinburgh,SC (UK) due to night curfew.
