Passenger removed from Ryanair flight from Lanzarote to Galicia

A passenger was removed from a Ryanair flight from Lanzarote to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia when he failed to produce his boarding pass.

The incident occurred on Friday and started when the passenger requested to be moved to a preferential seat at the front of the aircraft, claiming to be a UN diplomat. When cabin staff asked to see his boarding pass, he refused to produce it, and the captain took the decision to expel him from the flight.

Guardia Civil officers boarded the plane to forcibly remove the passenger, and the flight was delayed by 40 minutes.
