A passenger was removed from a Ryanair flight travelling from Ibiza to Barcelona on Monday, September 21, after allegedly recording members of the cabin crew with her mobile phone.

According to accounts from passengers on board, the woman continued filming after crew members asked her to stop, leading to Guardia Civil officers being called to the aircraft.

Guardia Civil Called to the Aircraft

The incident reportedly happened while passengers were already on board the Ryanair flight at Ibiza Airport.

The crew informed passengers that there would be a delay because another traveller had not boarded despite their luggage already being loaded into the aircraft.

According to several passengers, the woman then began recording members of the cabin crew with her phone.

Crew members reportedly asked her to stop filming, but passengers said she continued using the device.

Passenger Removed From the Flight

Guardia Civil officers were subsequently called to the aircraft.

According to the passenger accounts reported after the incident, two officers asked the woman to leave the plane.

She reportedly initially refused, after which the officers removed her from the aircraft.

Witnesses said the woman shouted as she was taken outside.

Woman Reportedly Denied Filming

The woman reportedly denied that she had been recording the crew.

Some passengers who witnessed the incident also said they did not consider her behaviour towards the crew to have been particularly aggressive, although the situation created tension inside the aircraft.

There is no indication in the available reporting that the woman was arrested or that she was charged with an offence.

Flight Continued to Barcelona

Following the passenger's removal and the resolution of the other boarding-related issues, the aircraft continued its journey to Barcelona.

The incident was reported as causing disruption to the departure, although independent flight-tracking information available for the Ryanair Ibiza-Barcelona service on September 21 gives different timings from those reported by passengers and local coverage.

For that reason, the exact amount of delay attributed to the incident has not been independently established.

No Official Statement Confirming the Circumstances

The account currently available is based primarily on passenger testimony.

No public statement from Guardia Civil, Aena or Ryanair confirming the precise circumstances of the passenger's removal was available at the time of publication.

The available information therefore does not establish why the officers were called beyond the accounts that the woman was allegedly filming the crew and had been asked to stop.

A Disrupted Flight at Ibiza Airport

The incident comes during a busy period for air travel at Ibiza Airport, where September continues to see regular services connecting the island with mainland Spanish cities and other destinations.

Flights between Ibiza and Barcelona are operated by several airlines, including Ryanair and Vueling.

For passengers travelling from Ibiza, incidents involving individual passengers can lead to additional procedures before an aircraft is permitted to depart.

What Is Confirmed

What can currently be established is that a woman was removed from a Ryanair aircraft operating between Ibiza and Barcelona and that Guardia Civil officers attended the plane.

The allegation that she had been filming members of the crew comes from passengers who witnessed the incident.

The woman reportedly denied making the recordings, and there is currently no publicly available official account providing further details about any action taken against her.
