A mother has been banned from Ryanair after she didn’t stop her son spitting at other passengers – then became aggressive when people complained.

The toddler started spitting at other travellers in the Barcelona departure lounge and carried on once he was on board the plane.

His mum, in her late twenties, didn’t stop him – and when airline staff intervened, she reportedly became abusive.

She and her husband, along with their three children, were escorted off the plane by police after it touched down at Liverpool John Lennon airport last Wednesday.

Passengers had complained about the boy, aged two, spitting on them, the Liverpool Echo reports.

It was not clear what the father’s role was in the upset.

Merseyside Police said the woman was not arrested but was warned about her behaviour.

Ryanair banned her from travelling with them again.

A Ryanair spokesman said: ‘The crew of this flight from Barcelona to Liverpool requested police assistance upon landing at Liverpool, after a passenger became disruptive in-flight, who was removed and detained by police.

‘We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority.’
