Ryanair customers aboard the Thursday evening flight from Agadir in Morocco to Manchester had to endure disruption from a “drunken and aggressive” passenger, which resulted in a diversion to Faro in Portugal. A replacement aircraft and crew were sourced to get the 177 passengers home. But Ryanair says the UK Civil Aviation Authority would not permit the plane to take off – leaving them stranded overnight on the Algarve.
Ryanair DAC chief executive Eddie Wilson told The Independent: “It’s utter bull**** that people were put into hotels last night.”
