Overview
- Local reports say a passenger at Palma de Mallorca airport attacked a Ryanair check-in worker after being told his carry-on was too large and would incur an extra fee.
- Witnesses cited by OK Diario describe multiple punches and a headbutt that left the employee with several knocked-out teeth and a lip laceration.
- Guardia Civil officers detained the passenger at the gate, and the Madrid-bound flight FR2062 departed more than two and a half hours late without him.
- Both the assaulted employee and the detained passenger received medical treatment following the incident, according to the coverage.
- The episode has been linked in reporting to long-standing criticism of Ryanair’s strict hand-luggage rules and claims of small bonuses for staff who flag oversized bags.
