'Drunken' Brit on Stag Do Faces Five Years in Jail over Ryanair Flight Incident

The disruptive behavior of six intoxicated passengers forced an emergency landing, with the main suspect facing up to five years in prison, authorities said.

  • Last Friday, a Ryanair flight from Alicante to London‑Luton diverted to Toulouse‑Blagnac Airport after disruptive passengers forced cabin crew to call police.
  • A boozy British stag party sparked trouble when members drank duty-free in the departure lounge, swapped seats, and ignored cabin crew before two men agreed to leave but a tattooed man in a baseball cap refused.
  • A UK man attempted to open the emergency doors mid‑flight, forcing pilots to divert, and four officers restrained and handcuffed him before taking him to a Border Police cell to sober up.
  • After officers offloaded the troublemakers the flight resumed and crew called ahead for police assistance before continuing the Alicante flight 45 minutes later.
  • The DGAC's figures show a rising trend of onboard drunkenness, with 40 drunk incidents per 1,000 flights in 2024, following a similar incident earlier this month and a September 4 event.
