One passenger was reportedly offering a bottle to passengers along the isle.
A flight from Dublin to Malta has been marred by a number of drunken passengers and fights breaking out on board.
Many of the passengers were travelling to the AMP Lost and Found Festival, on a Ryanair flight on Tuesday.
Reports say one passenger had to be pinned to the ground by two fellow passengers for a long part of the flight, while another is believed to have been held up to a window of the plane by his neck during the trip.
Ryanair has since confirmed that a number of individuals travelling on the flight were removed from the plane and detained by police upon arrival in Malta.
Speaking to RTÉ News on Wednesday, journalist Kieran Dineen, who was on the flight, also claimed several passengers were drinking from large bottles of alcohol purchased in the duty-free prior to travel.
One passenger, Dineen claimed, walked through the aisle with a bottle of vodka inviting other passengers to take a drink from it.
Loud dance music was also reportedly blaring all over the plane.
Commenting on his experience, Dineen told RTÉ News at One: “Several fights broke out, there was one man pinned to the ground by two other man for a long part of the flight to keep him under control, there was punches thrown, one man was held up to the window of the plane by his neck.”
Ryanair has since issued a statement which read: “The crew of this flight from Dublin to Malta (30 April) requested police assistance upon arrival after several passengers became disruptive in-flight.
“The aircraft landed normally and police removed and detained these individuals. 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. This is now a matter for local police.”
