Ryanair 'bans five drunk' Britons after 'inappropriate sexual behaviour' in front of children

A group of "drunk" Britons were removed from a Ryanair flight after being accused of sneaking in alcohol and "engaging in sexual activity".

The five passengers were travelling from Liverpool to Tenerife when they reportedly began behaving in an "inappropriate and disruptive" manner.

The three males and two female passengers were not originally travelling together but were sitting close to each other.

While aboard the FR4346 flight on May 16, members of the group were said to have opened their duty free alcohol and drank from the bottle shortly after the plane took off at 4.05pm

Ryanair crew members were forced to confront the male passengers, however their pleas were ignored.

The group then began to involve two women who were seated in the row behind them.

It is believed that the men shared the drink with the women as the group were asked to mind their language and sit down.

The pilot allegedly spoke to passengers through the tannoy to inform the "drunk" group that they risked grounding the flight in Lisbon, Portugal and getting evicted from the plane.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

• Ryanair passengers 'panicked' over 'smoking battery' with pilot making emergency landing
• Ryanair adds new routes to Europe from 6 UK airports starting next month
• Woman drinks coffee filled with INSECTS which leaves her 'fighting for her life'

However, it was later reported that the passengers were engaging in inappropriate sexual behaviour, despite the presence of children on the plane.

They were reportedly asked to stop by other travellers on the aircraft, but instead, the group hurled abuse at both cabin crew and fellow passengers.

Spanish police were called by the captain ahead of landing and the rowdy Britons were removed from the flight.

It has been reported that the pilot also issued a ban - preventing them from flying back to the UK with the airline.

A Ryanair spokesperson told GB News: "The crew of this flight from Liverpool to Tenerife (16 May) called ahead for police assistance after a small number of passengers became disruptive onboard.

"The aircraft was met by local police upon arrival at Tenerife and these passengers were removed.

"This is now a matter for local police."
