Passengers hauled off Ryanair Tenerife flight after 'fighting' breaks out

A number of passengers were hauled off a Ryanair flight after a "drunken" man reportedly "urinated" on a seat.

The flight, from Manchester to Tenerife, was forced to divert to the Portugese island of Porto Santo, on Sunday evening (September 18), where the man and a small number of other passengers were removed from the plane after becoming "disruptive". Another passenger, who wishes to remain anonymous, told the ECHO the man looked "rotten" drunk and was repeatedly told to sit down by cabin crew before the pilot chose to divert the flight.

He said: “The flight was delayed at Manchester Airport so there was more drinking time. Usually when you get on a delayed flight, the first thing you hear is the captain and cabin crew welcoming you on board and apologising for the delay.
