The carrier said it would continue to pursue disruptive passengers for civil damages, “but at a minimum, they will now be issued with a £500 fine”.
Ryanair confirmed the fine was now part of its terms and conditions. The small print says it will pursue costs of any diversion and now adds:
“In addition, we reserve the right to fine you €500 where your behaviour results in you being offloaded, including where no diversion was required.”
A Ryanair spokesperson said: “It is unacceptable passengers are made to suffer unnecessary disruption because of one unruly passenger’s behaviour.
