Passenger's threatening conduct on Dublin flight ‘incredibly frightening' for others on board
Daniel Smolkowski (43) was already drunk when he boarded the flight from Poland to Dublin An air passenger became threatening and abusive on a Ryanair flight in what a judge said would have been an 'incredibly frightening' experience for others on the plane. Daniel Smolkowski (43) was already drunk when he boarded the flight from Poland to Dublin, remembered very little of what happened and was 'ashamed' of his behaviour, a court heard. Judge Patricia Cronin applied the Probation Act, sparing him a criminal record, after he made a €1,200 charity donation. Smolkowski, of The Park, Barnhall Meadows, Leixlip, Co Kildare, pleaded guilty to threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour on an aircraft. Dublin District Court heard gardaí were called to Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport on April 15 after the accused became disruptive on a flight from Wroclaw. He was arrested and charged. He had no previous convictions. The accused had been living in Ireland for 17 years and went home to Poland to see family, his lawyer said. He was drunk getting on the flight and 'remembers very little of it'. Smolkowski was a qualified engineer but was not in full-time employment. Judge Cronin said incidents like this were 'incredibly frightening' for other passengers, some of whom may already have anxiety flying and were 'in effect trapped in a small vessel'. Being drunk was no excuse for the accused's behaviour, the judge said. It was 'undoubtedly a distressing experience' for those on the flight and Smolkowski understood this but it was a 'once-off' and he was previously of 'exemplary behaviour', his lawyer said.
