Unexpected Airport‑Extreme: A Ryanair Passenger Walks Onto the Wing
Picture this: you’re on a brief flight from London to sunny Malaga, checkout a half‑hour of “outside the plane” opening and you think you’ve had enough waiting for the ground crew to decide the exit. Then Luke, a.k.a. the man who chose the wing steps out of the last row, pulls on the emergency latch, and proceeds to set up his own in‑flight lounge on the aircraft’s upper deck.
What the Passenger Reported
- “Half‑hour of queuing & buzzing about a delay on Monday night”, Fernando del Valle whispered to AFP.
- He watched the pilot’s bewildered face as the mysterious stranger re‑entered by the same exit.
- Luke slid into the front‑wing seat, dropped his backpack, and claimed his spot as if he were an extras in a better size (just remember the arms must be 2 ft apart).
Flights, Surveillance, and the “Random Passenger” Fate
The incident went straight into the daily fodder for the safety‑first director and the court’s Unfazed Tool. Ryanair’s official statement quietly mentioned: “The passenger is taken into custody.”
- Your typical Guardia Civil officer convinced the captain wasn’t the only one to need help and brought the matter to the air safety authorities (guess the letter‑man delivered the briefing after all).
- Wary note from safe‑operational policy: Careful, be careful, do not press the button on that carriage of the contraband box in the extra seat.
What to Expect Next
Let’s hope the Gw. call the proper reserve flight the next time this policy de‑re‑time.
