Ryanair seeks €15,000 in damages from disruptive passenger

Ryanair alleged that a passenger’s 'inexcusable behaviour' led to the flight being diverted to Porto in Portugal where it was delayed overnight.

Ryanair has filed legal proceedings in the Circuit Court claiming over €15,000 in damages against a passenger who allegedly disrupted a flight which had to be diverted.

Referring to it as a “major misconduct clampdown,” Ryanair said that taking such court cases would be just one of the many consequences unruly passengers would face in future.
