Held up at the gate: Why an incident at Münster/Osnabrück Airport raises questions for Mallorca

Answer

How do airlines decide when to refuse boarding due to disruptive behavior?

Airlines can refuse carriage when safety or operations are at risk; the line between disruptive behavior and a punishable offense isn't always clear, so authorities determine whether charges are warranted; for Mallorca-bound routes these decisions can ripple through schedules and staff workload.
