A RYANAIR passenger screamed “I’ll slap you around” during a fight on board a flight following a four-hour delay.
The incident was captured on camera by passenger Sakib Ahmed during a three-hour flight to Malaga.
The London Stansted flight departed on February 7, after being delayed for four hours due to an Air Traffic Control strike.
In the video, a fight appears to break out between four men, three of which are sitting in a row of seats.
The man standing up points appears to hit one of the male passengers while a woman stands between them.
He says “I’ll slap you around” to the group while she replies “You’re better than this.”
The video was shared on Twitter and has been viewed more than 1,000 times since.
The caption said: “Man I’m acc [sic] never going on a Ryanair flight again I cba.”
They added: “It kicked off every 30 mins in the flight after a four hour delay already it was a three hour flight but I felt like a direct flight from London to Australia.”
Sakib explained that after news of further delays from the cockpit of the plane, the atmosphere on board was “a lot more angry” as tensions rose.
He added: “The three passengers that were intoxicated kept swearing and shouting abuse to the air hostess.
“Another passenger got angry and kept shouting at them and there were back and forth throughout the flight.
“Longest flight of my life.”
Being drunk on a plane is illegal if it results causes a risk to the safety of the aircraft or passengers on board, with potential fines and jail sentences.
Seven passengers were kicked off an easyJet flight last year after “spitting at a woman” and punching police.
A woman was removed from a flight because she hit her boyfriend with a laptop after he “looked at another woman”.
A drunk Jet2 passenger who tried to open the door during a flight was jailed for two years and banned from Jet2 flights for life.
