Passenger Sentenced in Polish Court as Ryanair Reasserts Ban on Disruptive Behaviour

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.
