Ryanair has welcomed the decision by the Alicante Courts to convict an unruly passenger who disrupted flight FR7567 from Ibiza to Alicante on 4 June 2025 by physically assaulting a crew member onboard. This disruptive passenger was found guilty in court and fined €270.

Ryanair said it is committed to ensuring that all passengers and crew travel in a comfortable and stress-free environment free of unnecessary disruption caused by a tiny number of unruly passengers. Ryanair has a strict zero tolerance policy towards passenger misconduct and will continue to take action to combat unruly passenger behaviour on aircraft for the benefit of the vast majority of passengers who do not disrupt flights.

Ryanair’s Director of Communications, Jade Kirwan, said:

We welcome the Alicante Court’s conviction of this unruly passenger whose inexcusable behaviour disrupted a flight from Ibiza to Alicante in June last. This demonstrates just one of the many consequences that passengers who disrupt flights will face as part of Ryanair’s zero tolerance policy. We hope this will further deter disruptive behaviour on flights so that both passengers and crew can travel in a comfortable and respectful environment.”
