Ryanair may be a budget airline, but they richly celebrated as an unruly passenger who disrupted one of their flights last year was locked away.
Stephen Blofield, who was flying from Krakow, Poland, to the United Kingdom on Nov. 11, 2025, caused massive disruptions to the flight crew, according to an April 8reportfrom Fox Business.
Blofield was reportedly volatile and aggressive upon consuming alcohol.
He started swearing and verbally accosting fellow passengers and a crew member.
When he was asked to calm down, he ignored the instructions, forcing the pilot to delay the touchdown into Bristol Airport.
Blofield pleaded guilty in February to counts of being drunk on an aircraft, behaving in a threatening and abusive manner toward a crew member, behaving in a manner likely to cause harassment and distress, and failing to comply with lawful commands of a pilot.
The passenger was sentenced by Bristol Crown Court to 10 months in prison.
Avon and Somerset Police said in an April 7releasethat Blofield is 61 years old and hails from Haverfordwest, Wales.
“Passengers have a duty for safety reasons to make sure they are fit enough to fly and not intoxicated,” inspector Christian Gresswell of the Bristol Airport policing team said in the statement.
“Stephen Blofield caused the initial landing to be aborted and continued to be verbally abusive towards cabin crew. He was met by officers at Bristol Airport once the flight had safely landed,” he continued.
