No boarding to Palma: Ryanair stops intoxicated passenger at Memmingen Airport

Answer

Can airport police force an airline to let a passenger board?

No, airport police usually cannot force an airline to accept a passenger. On Mallorca routes and elsewhere, the airline decides whether someone can travel, especially when safety is involved. Police may help calm the situation or take a complaint, but they do not make the carriage decision.
