Ryanair has detailed a €15,000 claim filed in Irish courts against a disruptive passenger whose behaviour forced an emergency diversion of a flight from Dublin to Lanzarote on April 9, 2024. The diversion to Porto resulted in significant expenses, including overnight accommodation for over 160 passengers and crew, replacement crew costs, and legal fees.
The airline broke down the costs:
Ryanair highlighted inadequate regulation of alcohol sales at airports as a contributing factor to disruptive passenger behaviour. The airline urged European authorities to introduce a two-drink limit at airports, similar to duty-free restrictions, to improve onboard safety and passenger conduct.
The airline’s spokesperson criticised the lack of governmental action on such incidents and reaffirmed Ryanair’s commitment to recovering these costs through legal proceedings.
