The passenger, identified as a tourist from Serbia, was on a flight from Thessaloniki in Greece to Memmingen in Germany when the incident occurred.
He was later hospitalised with friction burns but was reported to be in stable condition, authorities said, as per news agency AFP.
The aircraft was forced to return to Thessaloniki shortly after take-off following what Ryanair described as a "passenger window detachment" during the flight.
Visuals circulating after the incident showed oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling and a damaged section of the cabin window area.
