Overview

• A May 18 Ryanair flight from Tenerife to Glasgow Prestwick was diverted to Faro after a disruptive passenger caused safety concerns.
• The woman, reportedly intoxicated, assaulted passengers, made a false bomb threat, and engaged in aggressive behavior, including vaping and threatening others.
• Portuguese authorities arrested her upon landing, but she continued to resist, becoming violent on a shuttle bus and forcing officers to restrain her on the ground.
• Her boyfriend was also removed from the flight before it resumed its journey to Prestwick under Ryanair's zero-tolerance policy for misconduct.
• The incident highlights ongoing challenges with unruly passenger behavior, particularly on budget carriers, and its impact on passenger safety and flight operations.
