Answer
Can a passenger be charged for a diverted flight from Mallorca?
Yes. If a passenger’s behaviour causes a diversion or other major disruption, an airline can pursue civil claims to recover its losses. A Dublin court recently ordered a passenger to reimburse around €15,000 after violent behaviour on a flight to Lanzarote, showing that the cost can be passed on to the person at fault.
