'Disruptive' woman passenger on Ryanair flight from Ireland removed by police

Ryanair passengers from Cork faced disruption after a woman was escorted off a flight in Manchester on Sunday morning, it has been confirmed.

The Ryanair flight from Cork arrived in Manchester at 9.30am on Sunday before the disruptive woman was removed from the plane. 

According to Cork Beo, passengers who witnessed the ordeal said they first knew trouble was brewing when they could hear the woman's voice involved in a loud argument.

"The Captain came over the intercom and asked the woman to sit down and stop abusing passengers and staff," a passenger told Cork Beo.

"We got to Manchester, we had to wait for around 25 minutes, the police arrived and they were taking her off, she was still screaming at the air hostess."

A Ryanair spokesperson said: "The crew of this Cork to Manchester flight (11 Feb) requested police assistance after a passenger became disruptive in-flight.

"Local police met the aircraft upon arrival at Manchester and removed this passenger from the aircraft before the rest of the passengers disembarked."
