Ryanair continues to apply its “zero tolerance” policy on rebel passengers that interrupt their flights, used delays and, therefore, additional costs.
The Irish airline now chooses to demand the failures of the disorder. A court in Krakow in Poland has just condemned a passenger at 3,230 euros, had interrupted a flight between Glasgow in Scotland and Krakow in June 2024. The plane had to confuse Rzesóow to land.
“It is unacceptable that passengers suffer alterations due to the inappropriate behavior of a single individual. […] We hope that this action serves as a deterrent to avoid other behaviors of this type and ensure that passengers and crew can travel in a comfortable and respectful environment, “Ryanair said.
Last January, the company announced to process one of its customers and claim 15,000 euros in damages to the Irish justice.
In April 2024, the behavior of this passenger forced the crew of this flight between Dublin and Lanzarote to confuse Porto, blocking the 160 passengers on the site during the night.
Alcohol abuse often in question
If alcohol abuse is not cited in these cases, it is often in the heart of the growing problem of disruptive passengers. And Ryanair is now Your battle horse.
For Michael O’Leary, the company’s owner, now is the time of anger.
“Airlines, such as Ryanair, are already restricting and limiting the sale of alcohol aboard their airplanes, particularly in cases of passengers with inappropriate behavior. However, during flight delays, passengers consume excess alcohol at airports without any purchase or consumption limit. We do not understand why passengers in airports are not limited to two alcoholic beverages.” The operator.
According to IATA figures, the International Air Transport Association, there were 2021 An incident (Incivility, indiscipline, insults …) For 835 flights, in 2022, this figure increased by one by 568, an increase of 47%.
In France, according to the latest civil aviation figures (DGAC), last year he notified 40 incidents of more than 1,000 flights last year, compared to 3123.
“The significant increase in the notification of disruptive behavior (compromising safety, operational efficiency and soft flight functioning) indicates a disturbing trend,” says Civil Aviation.
