Ryanair is pursuing legal action against a passenger who allegedly caused a major disruption on a flight from Dublin to Lanzarote.
The airline is seeking £12,500 in damages to cover expenses incurred when the plane had to divert to Porto, Portugal.
On Wednesday, the airline announced it had filed proceedings against the passenger, whose behaviour on the flight last April was described as “inexcusable” and “completely unacceptable”.
Ryanair stated that it will “continue to take decisive action to combat unruly passenger behaviour on aircraft” in an effort to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers.
