Ryanair Flights Divert for Medical, Violent Incidents Across Europe

Ryanair flights have recently faced several diversions due to medical emergencies and disruptive incidents. One flight from Malaga to Manchester was diverted to Bilbao for a medical emergency but passengers were stranded overnight when air traffic controllers left before the aircraft could take off again, leading to a delayed arrival in Manchester. Another flight from Shannon to Gran Canaria diverted to Lisbon after a passenger fell ill, requiring medical assistance upon landing. Additionally, two separate flights from Dublin to Gran Canaria were diverted to Lisbon due to violent altercations onboard; one flight experienced a disruptive passenger, prompting police intervention. Ryanair maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards passenger misconduct, which has raised discussions about stricter controls on alcohol consumption in airports. These incidents highlight ongoing challenges in managing passenger safety and wellbeing during flights.
