Passengers on a Ryanair flight from Lanzarote to Galicia in mainland Spain, experienced a tense situation on Friday when the pilot ordered the removal of a passenger who refused to cooperate with the cabin crew.
The incident occurred on a flight bound for Lavacolla Airport in Santiago de Compostela, causing a 40-minute delay to its scheduled departure.
The passenger in question, who claimed to be a United Nations diplomat, requested to be relocated to a seat in the front row but refused to produce his boarding pass when asked by the crew.
After repeated attempts to resolve the situation, the captain ultimately decided to ban the individual from travelling, and called the Guardia Civil to forcibly remove the passenger from the aircraft.
The disruption led to a significant delay for the other passengers, many of whom expressed frustration over the unexpected commotion. Ryanair has not yet released a statement regarding the incident.
The flight eventually departed without further issues, but the situation has drawn attention to the challenges faced by airline crews in maintaining order and enforcing regulations in such circumstances.
