Ryanair sues ‘unruly’ passenger it says disrupted Dublin to Lanzarote flight

Airline seeking 15,000 in damages over inexcusable' behaviour it says forced plane to divert to Portugal

Ryanair is suing a passenger it claims disrupted a flight between Dublin and Lanzarote, seeking 15,000 (12,500) in damages to cover expenses incurred when the plane was diverted to Portugal.

The airline said on Wednesday it had filed proceedings in Dublin's circuit court against the passenger, whose behaviour on the flight last April it described as inexcusable" and completely unacceptable."
