Ryanair apologises to affected passengers for this delay which was beyond our control.”

A Ryanair spokesperson stated that the Captain of the plane had phoned ahead to “request Guardia Civil assistance” upon arrival to Madrid, whereupon arrival both men were marched off by the Officers. 

One tourist who witnessed the incident stated that one man was ‘kicking off‘ with another passenger for ‘no reason’ “It was a man who was drunk. He kicked off on another passenger for no apparent reason. Some off-duty Merseyside police officers on the flight by chance took him to the back of the plane – and then we got diverted. The off-duty police guys really helped the cabin crew, who did an announcement to ask for assistance.”
