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

Answer

Who pays for the costs when a flight from Madrid to Ibiza is delayed by a drunk passenger?

That can depend on the legal outcome and the airline’s internal rules. In some cases, the disruptive passenger may face fines or other consequences, but passengers on the flight still have to deal with the practical delay first. The exact financial responsibility is often unclear until the incident has been reviewed.
