Ryanair’s staff was forced to tie a “rebel” passenger to his seat using spare belts after he refused to sit during landing, the spectators said.
The passenger on Manchester’s flight to Rhodes shouted at the cabin crew that confiscated two bottles of alcohol from him and refused to serve alcohol, said the spectators.
He refused to sit during landing, escape from restrictions, forcing the pilot to abort the descent, surround in circulation and land again.
The Rhodes police were called to flight when landing to get the man from the plane, on April 3.
The video shows the staff and other hacked passengers around the man and a staff member shouting: “Sit, now”, as well as the police officers who seem to escort the man around the hall by landing.
Emily, 26, witnessed the incident and captured images of man.
She said: “The flight was completely well until the crew of the cabin approached me and my partner in the front of the plane and asked us if we traveled together and if we could separate because a girl needed to go down to the front of the plane with her father because a man was being harmful.
“We were together, so they asked someone else who moved and that was when I learned that this guy was really disruptive in the back of the plane.
“The crew had to obtain two spare safety belts and tried to hold it in the seat.
“He left the seat again. The staff was shouting at him, telling him to sit and face the staff.
“He had already had two bottles of alcohol that confiscated him.”
He added that the aerial staff had warned about the intercom that any person trapped drinking alcohol bought from the tax free before the police stopped him when landing unless he kept it, in which case no more measures would be taken.
Emily said: “As we were supposed to go down to earth, I could listen to Cabin Crew shouting to sit.
“We had to make a circle of the island again until he sat down again, which was very afraid.
“Once he landed, we all had to stay while the police approached to remove it. They removed it on their own. It was agitated.”
A Ryanair spokeswoman said: “The crew of this Manchester flight to Rhodes on April 3 called to police aid after a passenger became disruptive on board. The Local Police received the plane upon arrival at the Rhodes airport and this passenger was removed.
“Ryanair has a strict zero tolerance policy towards the misconduct of passengers and will continue to take decisive measures to combat the rebel behavior of the passengers, ensuring that all passengers and the crew travel in a safe and respectful environment, without unnecessary interruptions.
“This is a matter for the local police.”
