Unruly Passengers on Ryanair Airlines Now Face a €500 Fine
Airline Ryanair imposes penalties for disruptive behavior.
In a bid to maintain a stress-free flight experience for passengers and crew members, Ryanair has announced a new policy. As of June 2025, passengers causing trouble and being ousted from the aircraft will shell out a whopping €500 fine. The company's spokesperson stated, "We hope that our tough stance will discourage obnoxious behavior on our flights."
Don't be alarmed if you're a frequent flyer with Ryanair. The airline declared that they only deal with a small band of disruptive passengers. Being Europe's punctuality champion, passengers expect a smooth journey and on-time arrivals from this airline.
Last summer, Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, made headlines for expressing concerns about the rise in problems with intoxicated passengers and advocated for limitations on alcohol sales at airports. Additionally, he pointed out an increase in passengers consuming illegal substances, not just alcohol[1].

In an attempt to further enhance the safety and comfort of its passengers, Ryanair is considering expanding its fine policy to cover unruly behavior across various industries, such as finance, transportation, and aviation. However, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I can confirm this as it's currently speculation and not officially announced.
