A Ryanair flight departing from Edinburgh to Lanzarote was forced to turn back after just half an hour due to the disruptive behavior of three intoxicated passengers.

The flight, which took off at 4:20 PM on Friday, experienced a delay caused by the unruly conduct of several passengers. After takeoff, passengers began shouting and drinking from a glass bottle, which appeared to be vodka and flight attendants had to confiscate the bottle and an electronic cigarette as well.

Ultimately, thirty minutes into the flight, the pilot decided to return to Edinburgh. Upon landing, several police officers were waiting at the foot of the stairs. They boarded the aircraft and arrested the disruptive passengers.
