Shocking footage shows two men brawling on Ryanair plane after argument over seat

This is moment a brawl broke out on a Ryanair flight after two men got into an argument about seats.

The chaotic scenes occurred on a flight from Malta to London Stansted as passengers attempted to break up the conflict. 

A witness said the fight erupted after one man refused to let the other pass through the aisle.

They said: ‘The British man wouldn’t let the American man pass through to get to his window seat and then some words and swears were exchanged before a scuffle broke.

‘The flight was delayed two hours everyone was annoyed.’

Fellow passengers can be heard telling the two brawlers to ‘leave it out’ and that they were ‘never going to get home’.

A Ryanair staff member can be seen walking down the cabin to separate the two.

It is not the first time that passengers aboard Ryanair flights have had to witness chaotic scenes. 

Last week a ‘British’ passenger on a Ryanair flight from Croatia attempted to open the plane door ahead of take-off.

The unnamed man, believed to be from the UK and aged 27, was seen shouting at other passengers and cabin crew in the aisle of the aircraft as it prepares to leave Zadar Airport on June 30.

In a series of videos shared on TikTok, the man is seen raising his clenched fist and lunging for the plane’s door.

Two officers were filmed hauling the man along the tarmac during the incident.

A woman who uploaded a video of the incident said many of the passengers were returning home after partying at the Hideout Festival.

In another incident last month, a passenger was banned from flying with the budget airliner after he was caught smoking in the cabin toilets.

The man, said to be wearing a grey t-shirt, shorts, a baseball cap and flip flops, was greeted by police at Manchester Airport and escorted off the aircraft after the flight touched down from Palma.

Another traveller was booted off his Ryanair flight to Spain by armed police after knocking back shots during a seven-hour delay and going on a drunken rampage.

Construction worker Darren Gill, 33, accused police of ‘ruining his holiday’ and even headbutted a steel pole when they ejected him from the flight after he heckled cabin crew during an inflight safety demonstration.

The Yorkshireman was due to fly from Manchester Airport to Santander in Spain with his partner Sam Baker and their young son on July 26 last year.

During a foul-mouthed tirade, Gill, who was at the front of the aircraft, drunkenly shouted abuse across fellow passengers towards his embarrassed partner at the back of the plane.

He asked her: ‘Where the f**k is my passport?’ then told officers: ‘Why am I being taken off? – I’m not even drunk.’ After attempts to calm him down failed, he was handcuffed after struggling and headbutting a steel post as he was led away. 

By the time Gill, from Keighley, near Bradford in West Yorkshire, sobered up in the cells he could barely recall the incident.

His partner dumped him later that day and threw him out of their house. It is not known if she went on holiday without him.

The airline was embroiled in a row with a couple who claimed they had been given lifetime bans by Ryanair after they became embroiled in an argument with a stewardess who bumped into them before refusing to apologise.

Carl Davey and fiancee Anna-Leena Nordman said they had been left ‘humiliated, upset and angry’ at being kicked off the Stansted airport to Helsinki flight on May 9.

The couple were travelling to Finland for Ms Nordman to undergo a cancer scan but as they walked through the airport to board the plane they say a stewardess in uniform bumped into her, causing her to cry out in pain, then refused to apologise.

Mr Davey admitted he then followed and swore at the flight attendant but assumed things were at an end when she walked off.

But when they boarded the plane they discovered the stewardess was on the same flight and the couple were ordered out of their seats and off the plane by the captain.
