From now on, passengers on Ryanair who behave inappropriately on board and are therefore removed from the plane will face a fine of 500 euros.
Although it is a "small number" of passengers who behave improperly, as the airline explained. Ryanair is "Europe's most punctual airline," and passengers expect a comfortable and stress-free journey and a timely arrival.
Ryanair Introduces Fine for Troublemakers
"We hope that our proactive approach will act as a deterrent to prevent unacceptable behavior on board our aircraft," a company spokesperson said on Thursday.
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary complained last summer about increasing problems with drunk passengers and called for restrictions on the distribution of alcohol at airports. Additionally, there are more and more people who consume not only alcohol but also harder drugs.
