Founded in 1984, the Irish company began with short routes between Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Ryanair celebrated the decision of a Malta Court, which applied a fine of 2,000 euros to a passenger to smoke aboard an airplane and disobey the crew orders. The incident took place on March 22, on a flight between Colonia, Germany, and Malta.

The company stated that “it is unacceptable” that other passengers have to support unnecessary interruptions due to a person’s inadequate behavior. To avoid similar situations, Ryanair may apply sanctions such as travel ban, collaboration with local authorities and claim for damages caused, according to.
It is not isolated case
The case is not isolated. Recently, the airline announced that a criminal case began against a passenger taken from a flight by the Spanish Civil Guard. The incident took place on 17 January, on a flight between Lanzarote and Santiago de Compostela. The passenger insisted on occupying a place that was not attributed to him and falsely claimed to be UN diplomat.
The situation led to a 40 -minute delay on the flight, causing all passengers on board. According to the company, the passenger showed a “verbally aggressive” attitude when the crew asked him to present the boarding card.
