Ryanair Flight to Alicante Diverts to Toulouse After Drunken Disruption as Police Detain Suspects

French authorities are investigating the alleged attempt to open an emergency exit, a crime that can bring a prison term.

Overview

  • Flight FR8425 from London Luton diverted roughly 30 minutes into the journey after a bachelor‑party group became unruly.
  • Witnesses say one man tried to open an emergency exit and others threw drinks at passengers, with a spill hitting a laptop.
  • French Gendarmerie boarded in Toulouse and removed several passengers, with reports differing on whether four or five were detained.
  • The primary suspect was too intoxicated to be questioned for hours and could face up to five years in prison, according to local reports.
  • Ryanair said the crew requested police assistance and reiterated its zero‑tolerance policy as the flight later continued to Alicante.
