Ryanair Details New £500 Fine for Disruptive Flyers

Ryanair has introduced a new £500 (or €500) fine for passengers removed from flights due to disruptive behavior, aiming to deter air rage and enhance passenger safety. The fine can be deducted from future bookings, vouchers, or charged directly to the payment card used for the booking. This penalty serves as a minimum consequence, with the airline also reserving the right to seek further civil damages. Examples of misconduct include consuming personal alcohol on board and being verbally or physically abusive. The measure follows a rise in high-profile flight disruptions and Ryanair's calls for stricter alcohol sales at airports. The airline hopes this proactive approach will improve safety and comfort for all passengers and crew.
