£500 Ryanair fine to hit passengers with ‘air rage’ – and deducted straight from their credit cards
Unruly travellers to be hit with fine amid clampdown on ‘air rage’
- Ryanair will fine passengers £500 if they are offloaded from a flight due to misconduct.
- The airline is amending its terms and conditions to include the warning and will take the fine from the card used for booking or any Ryanair vouchers.
- Ryanair says it reserves the right to recover additional costs, damages, or liabilities resulting from passengers' actions.

- Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has called for a two-drink limit at airports due to a rise in air rage incidents.
