Drunk dad banned by Ryanair slurs 'the Mancs are terrorising me'

A drunken dad who slurred 'the Mancs are terrorising me' after terrifying passengers on board a Ryanair flight has been banned by the airline.

John Medway was flying home from a family holiday in Fuerteventura to Liverpool John Lennon Airport on January 12 when his erratic behaviour started to terrify other passengers. The 32-year-old of Breck Road, Poulton, appeared at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court today after he had pleaded guilty to entering a flight when drunk.

The court heard how an hour into the flight a passenger told cabin crew Medway and his wife, who were with their three children, had an argument. The couple were separated and for 10 minutes Medway was calm.
