The airline Ryanair he asked 15 thousand euros of compensation for damages to a unruly passenger who had interrupted the flight FR7124 from Dublin to Lanzarote The April 9th last.
The unjustifiable behavior of this passenger – he states Ryanair who filed the lawsuit against Dublin District Court – forced the flight to divert towards Portwhere it was delayed for the night, causing unnecessary interruptions to 160 passengers and the loss of a whole day of theirs vacation. Ryanair – we read again – has a rigorous zero tolerance policy towards the misconduct of passengers and will continue to take decisive measures to combat the undisciplined behavior of passengers on planes to the benefit of the vast majority of passengers who do not interrupt their flights.
“It is unacceptable that passengers, many of whom were departing with the family or friends to enjoy a relaxing summer vacationsuffer unnecessary inconvenience and reduce their vacation time due to the undisciplined behavior of a passenger. Yet, this was unfortunately the case for the passengers on this flight from Dublin to Lanzarote last April, which he was forced to divert to Port due to the disruptive behavior of a single passenger, causing 15 thousand euros accommodation, passenger expenses and landing costs.
We have now initiated civil proceedings to recover these costs from this passenger. This proves just one of many consequences that passengers who interrupt flights will have to deal with as part of the policy of zero tolerance Of Ryanair and we hope that this action will discourage further such behavior on flights so that i passengers and thecrew can travel in an environment comfortable and respectful,” says a company spokesperson.
