Overview
- Ryanair said the Toulouse Criminal Court has convicted two travellers for disrupting flight FR9251 from London Stansted to Ibiza.
- The pair became abusive and ignored crew instructions, which forced a diversion to Toulouse that affected more than 184 passengers and six crew.
- Both individuals received suspended sentences of up to 10 months and combined fines exceeding €10,000.
- Ryanair welcomed the verdict and reaffirmed a zero‑tolerance policy toward onboard misconduct to protect other passengers’ trips.
- CEO Michael O’Leary has urged airports to stop alcohol sales before early morning departures, saying the airline now diverts nearly one flight a day due to misbehaviour.
