The chartered Airbus A321 was climbing through 10,000 ft after departure from London Stansted Airport when a crewmember saw a window seal near the overwing exits âflapping in the airflowâ and noted that the windowpane had apparently slipped down. He informed the flight crew, and as they flew the airplane back to Stansted, several windowpanes fell out.

Lengthy exposure to high-intensity lights loosened windowpanes on an A321, causing several to fall off the airplane during flight, the AAIB says.
