Passengers stranded after Ryanair forced to cut capacity on Dublin Airport flight due to crew illness

Dozens of Ryanair passengers faced a long journey home from Fuerteventura to Dublin after capacity on their flight was reduced.

According to passengers, 38 people were unable to board the Thursday morning flight due to a member of cabin crew becoming unwell. These passengers reported difficulty in getting back to Dublin due to a lack of communication from the airline.

Paul Butler had already boarded the flight and said he heard the captain say 'there’s 150 people on, I think that’s all I can take'. He told RTE Liveline on Friday that himself and his wife Rita voluntarily gave up their seats so a family with a special needs child could travel home together.
