Ryanair, Europe’s leading airline, reaffirmed their stance on passenger disruptive behaviour on Wednesday 14th May as they welcomed the ruling by the Kraków District Court, which convicted a passenger responsible for causing significant disturbance on flight FR4204 from Glasgow to Kraków on 30 June 2024.

Disruptive passenger forces diversion – Ryanair upholds zero-tolerance policy

The passenger’s unacceptable behaviour led to the flight being diverted from the original destination of Kraków to Rzeszów, where the aircraft was forced to land so the disruptive passenger could be removed. As a result, 191 passengers and 6 crew members experienced unnecessary delays and inconvenience. The court’s ruling imposed a fine of €3,230 (approx. 2,717 GBP) on the passenger.

Ryanair remains firmly committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for both passengers and crew. The airline enforces  a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of disruptive behaviour on board and continues to take strong action to protect the majority of passengers who travel without incident.

A Ryanair spokesperson commented:

“It is completely unacceptable that the actions of a single unruly passenger caused such avoidable disruption to the journey of fellow passengers on this flight from Glasgow to Kraków. The diversion to Rzeszów was regrettably necessary due to this individual’s behaviour.

We fully support the Kraków District Court’s decision, which serves as a clear warning of the consequences faced by those who engage in disruptive conduct on board. Ryanair will continue to uphold its zero-tolerance stance in order to ensure a safe, comfortable, and respectful travel experience for all.”

Background on Ryanair

Ryanair is a prominent low-cost airline based in Ireland, founded in 1984.

Originally established to provide budget flights between Ireland and the UK, Ryanair has since expanded significantly, becoming one of Europe’s largest and most recognisable carriers. Known for its no-frills service model, aggressive cost-cutting strategies, and frequent use of secondary airports, Ryanair has transformed air travel across the continent by making it more accessible and affordable.

Headquartered in Dublin, the airline operates over 3,000 daily flights across more than 40 countries, serving millions of passengers each year.

The airline is calling for alcohol limits to be implemented into airports to prevent further cases of unruly passengers.
