Ryanair is currently pursuing legal action against a disruptive passenger, seeking $15,000 in damages. The incident in question involved a passenger whose behavior was so disruptive that it caused the flight to be diverted. This legal action is part of a broader effort by Ryanair to clamp down on unruly behavior on their flights.

The passenger's actions led to the flight being diverted to Porto, significantly impacting the flight schedule and causing inconvenience to other passengers. Ryanair has filed a claim in the Irish Circuit Court, seeking over €15,000 in damages. This move is seen as a deterrent to future disruptive behavior on their flights.

Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, has been vocal about the need for stricter measures to handle such incidents, emphasizing that such behavior is not only unacceptable but also costly for the airline and its passengers. The airline has confirmed that it will continue to take legal action against disruptive passengers to ensure the safety and comfort of all its passengers.
