Fight on board: Ryanair flight to Malta forced to divert to Pisa

Share

A Ryanair Boeing 737 made an emergency landing at Pisa Airport after a nasty fight inflight

The reason for the fight on board of this aircraft from Brussels to Malta (flight FR2906) on 2 November is not clear. According to witnesses, East-European passengers behaved very aggressively. Attempts to stop the fight, proved futile. Even the crew was unable to calm the hotheads. The captain decided to divert  to Pisa where the 4 passengers were plucked from the aircraft and arrested.

Ryanair condemned the unacceptable behaviour and states : “Our main priority is the safety of our passengers and staff“.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
