Passengers on a Ryanair flight in Malta describe feeling unwell and distressed while waiting to board, alleging they were kept on an aircraft in hot conditions for an extended period. One 16-year-old passenger says the situation became chaotic and that some travellers passed out and vomited.

The accounts describe rising discomfort as temperatures increase during the wait, with passengers reporting symptoms that include panic attacks and general physical distress. The reporting focuses on passengers’ experiences, including delays and the conditions onboard while they remain restrained before boarding.

While details are largely drawn from passenger testimony, the outlets present the incident as a complaint about how long the aircraft remained before boarding and how heat and waiting affected travellers. The coverage centers on the human impact—particularly accounts of passing out and vomiting—rather than providing additional confirmation from Ryanair or official investigations in the included excerpts.
