Ryanair has hit the international headlines again this week after a ‘mutiny’ on board one of its flights.
According to reports, more than 100 Belgian students on a flight from Lanzarote to Charleroi became disruptive after one of them was charged extra for excess hand luggage.
Police were called and all passengers were asked to leave the plane while the group of students were removed.
In a statement, Ryanair apologised to the other 66 passengers who had to put up with a three-hour delay.
Ryanair said its handling agent in Lanzarote was re-accommodating some of the students on later flights but said individuals who engaged in disruptive behaviour or refused to follow crew instructions would not be allowed to fly with the airline.
