Former Spirit Airlines CEO Ben Baldanza provides insight into how the pandemic has impacted the industry on ‘CAVUTO Live.’
An intoxicated passenger on a Ryanair flight to the U.K. reportedly assaulted a flight attended after being told to wear a face mask.
Daniel Hendry, 24, had allegedly downed half a gallon of vodka before boarding a flight from Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, to Manchester, England, on Jan. 29, and refused to comply with the airline’s face mask policy, according to Manchester Evening News. When he was confronted, he became violent with a male flight attendant, the outlet reported. An intoxicated passenger onboard a Ryanair was arrested last month for assaulting a flight member after refusing to wear a mask. (iStock)
