Ryanair accused of security lapse after a passenger was allowed to board the WRONG flight a month early
The man passed a number of security checks but the gaffe was only realised when cabin crew broke up a row after he rowed with a woman he thought was in his seat
RYANAIR has been accused of a lapse in security after a passenger was allowed to board the wrong plane.
The man had arrived at Bournemouth Airport for the flight to Girona, Spain, a month early by mistake.
Yet he checked in, passed security checks and was ushered from the gate to the plane.
Cabin crew discovered the truth only when he rowed with a woman he said was in his seat.
It was only when cabin crew double checked his pass the error was realised and he was escorted off the Ryanair flight.
The cabin crew discovered the man had turned up just under a month early.
Despite being booked to travel on October 6, he had managed to get all the way onto the flight that was on September 6.
He had seemingly gone through two ground checks at the airport prior to boarding the plane, neither of which picked up he wasn’t booked on the flight that day.
Ryanair said: “We have asked our gate agent to ensure it does not recur.”
