"A disaster" on board: What a drunk passenger means for the Balearic Islands

Answer

What happens if a passenger becomes drunk and disruptive on a flight to Mallorca or Ibiza?

Airlines can stop a flight from departing if a passenger’s behaviour creates a safety risk. Crew may call airport security or the Guardia Civil, and the person can be removed from the aircraft before takeoff. In practice, that can delay the flight for everyone on board.
