Ryanair bans passengers for smoking

EIGHT people have been banned for life from all Ryanair flights for compromising passenger and crew safety by smoking on board.

Ryanair bans passengers for smoking

The low-fares airline said it does not tolerate smoking on any of its flights and that anyone found lighting up on an aircraft would never fly with the company again.

The eight people are believed to have been on different flights over the last 12 months, and Ryanair would not reveal where they were from, their ages or sex. In all the cases, as soon as the plane landed, the smoker was handed over to the local police to face whatever sanctions that particular country employed. They could face charges relating to plane, crew and passenger safety.
