A flight from Marrakesh to Bristol Airport was diverted late on Tuesday after a passenger became disruptive. The Ryanair plane diverted to Brest airport in France, but details of what happened on board to cause the problems have not been released. Police boarded the plane in Brest and the passenger was arrested.
The flight, which took off from Morocco at 20:55 on Tuesday, was delayed by more than an hour because of the diversion, and arrived in Bristol Airport at 00:45. A spokesman for the airline said: ‘Ryanair apologises to passengers for this diversion and the knock-on delay which resulted from this highly unusual incident. We will support and co-operate with any prosecution brought against this disruptive passenger.’
