Altercation Breaks Out on Ryanair Flight Leading to Ejection of Three Passengers: Video Footage

By  Milcah  Tanimu

Disturbance onboard a Ryanair flight has been captured in a video, resulting in the removal of three passengers from the aircraft. According to the airline, the incident occurred on August 21 during a flight from Manchester, England to Ibiza, Spain. The flight faced a delay prior to takeoff due to the disruptive behavior of a small group of passengers.

The disruptive passengers were subsequently escorted off the plane by local authorities, allowing the flight to resume its journey to Ibiza after a brief pause. A spokesperson from Ryanair issued a statement, acknowledging the situation: “This is now a matter for local police. We sincerely apologize to affected passengers for any inconvenience caused as a result of these passengers’ disruptive behavior.”

The video footage, taken by a fellow passenger, shows a verbal exchange in which a woman can be heard making threats. The recording displays several passengers becoming involved in a physical altercation within the aircraft’s aisle. At one instance, a woman dressed in pink loses her balance as another individual intervenes to separate her from the confrontation.

Greater Manchester Police reported that “two men in their 30s and one woman, also in her 30s, have all been arrested on suspicion of being drunk on board an aircraft.” Additionally, the woman and one of the men were arrested for allegedly assaulting police officers. All three individuals remain in police custody for further questioning.

Lyndsay Cash, a passenger on the flight hailing from Wigan, England, recounted the events. She noted that a woman exhibited aggressive behavior right from the moment she boarded the plane. Cash reported, “She was intoxicated, and when confronted, she became confrontational with everyone.” The situation escalated into a physical altercation within the aisle, causing distress among passengers, particularly children.

Cash expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of the situation by the cabin crew, stating, “The stewardesses weren’t much use and kids were upset. I wasn’t happy with the way it was managed.” She further mentioned that the incident elicited strong reactions from fellow passengers, with applause when the disruptive woman was escorted off the plane. Cash criticized the airline staff’s response and suggested they should have taken quicker action to address the situation rather than leaving it to passengers to manage.
