Ryanair wytoczył pozew przeciwko pasażerowi. Wnioskowana kwota to 15 tysięcy euro za incydent na pokładzie samolotu.

Irish airline Ryanair recently announced that a flight with 160 passengers on board had to be diverted to Porto due to „inappropriate passenger behavior”. The carrier explained that landing in Portugal delayed the journey to the final destination by a whole night.

Losses amounting to 15,000 euros

The airline clarified that the sum of around 15,000 euros covers the expenses related to the forced landing, providing accommodation for passengers, and other costs. They also mentioned that the lawsuit aims to recover the equivalent of these expenses.

„Ryanair is making every effort to ensure that all passengers and crew feel safe and are treated with respect, without unnecessary disruptions caused by a few unruly passengers. The carrier maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior and will continue to take decisive steps to minimize it. The vast majority of people who do not disrupt other passengers will benefit from this,” the carrier stated in a press release.

They added that they intend to „punish all problematic passengers to minimize inappropriate behavior during travel”.

More lawsuits to follow

Ryanair reported that the sued passenger was an Irish citizen. They mentioned that this was the first case of suing a passenger in Ireland, but the airline plans to file lawsuits in other countries as well. When asked why they publicly announce a lawsuit against a passenger, the carrier explained that they want to „demonstrate one of the many consequences that disruptive passengers will face”.

„We hope that this action will deter other disruptive passengers, allowing passengers and crew to travel in a friendly environment,” Ryanair wrote.

Ryanair is an Irish carrier operating in 37 countries, flying to 234 airports, with 95 of them being the carrier’s bases. The airline has a fleet of around 600 aircraft and has placed an order for 350 more, aiming to increase annual passenger traffic to 300 million by 2034. In Poland, Ryanair operates at 13 airports, with six of them being bases where they have 42 aircraft.

Also, find it hard to pack too much and not fly everywhere. Ryanair tightens regulations and has problems with Modlin.
