Ryanair Passengers 'Pass Out' and 'Vomit' While on Sweltering Plane

Passengers fainted and vomited as the airline said a minor technical issue and a sick traveler delayed the flight before engineers cleared the aircraft.

  • On Monday, August 10, passengers on Ryanair flight FR7268 from Malta to Birmingham endured over an hour on a sweltering tarmac without air conditioning, causing widespread physical distress among travelers.
  • Prior to boarding, travelers spent roughly 30 minutes in a shuttle bus without air conditioning, then transferred to a second bus with limited cooling for another 30 minutes before reaching the aircraft.
  • Eva Gregory, a 16-year-old passenger from Derby, reported that two people passed out and others vomited, while cabin crew allegedly failed to offer water despite attempting to prevent boarding until repairs were made.
  • Following an inspection by engineers, the aircraft was cleared to operate and departed Malta at 7:00 PM; however, the incident sparked backlash after Gregory shared video footage on TikTok.
  • Gregory urged Ryanair to "stop valuing money over passengers," hoping the ordeal motivates the airline to fix operational mistakes and prioritize passenger safety over scheduling pressures.
