A Ryanair flight to Ibiza descended into chaos after a fight kicked off between passengers in the air.

Tempers spiralled out of control at 35,000ft during one eventful journey to the Brit party capital abroad.

Harry Watson was one of many holidaymakers witnessing a huge brawl at the back of the plane.

The 28-year-old claimed the main man involved would not return to his seat despite the seatbelt sign being on as he wanted to use the ‘toilet’.

“Everyone started shouting at him,” Harry, from Northampton, told Need To Know.

“As he went back to his seat and people were shouting at him – one guy was being very verbal.

“The lad didn’t like it, so he got angry and violent towards the guy, which caused a fight to break out.

“This happened multiple times.

“The lad started attacking the other passengers and had to be restrained a lot.

“There was then another guy that got up and hit the lad.”

The shocking brawl took place during a Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Ibiza, on 5 Oct.

A female cabin crew member can be seen in the footage trying to break up the brawl.

In the clip, she can be heard screaming ‘sit down’ as the rowdy fight broke out in the aisle.

The plane was attempting to land around this time – according to Harry, the fight delayed the descent, which left everyone very frustrated.

He said: “Everyone got very annoyed after a while, especially because the plane couldn’t land and had to go back in the air again.

“Police arrested and handcuffed the guy when we landed and escorted him off the plane.”

The footage quickly went viral online, racking up over 90,000 views.

A spokesperson for Ryanair said: “Crew on this flight from London Stansted to Ibiza (5 Oct) called ahead for police assistance after a passenger became disruptive onboard.

“Police met the aircraft upon landing at Ibiza Airport, and the disruptive passenger was removed.

“Ryanair has a strict zero tolerance policy towards passenger misconduct and will continue to take decisive action to combat unruly passenger behaviour, ensuring that all passengers and crew travel in a respectful and stress-free environment, without unnecessary disruption.”

The National Police Service of Spain were contacted for comment.
