Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk was unable to board a flight from Krakow to Thessaloniki on Tuesday, because the air carrier, Ryinair, did not allow his companion to board the flight, said Jacek Michalowski, spokesman for the Carpathian Department of the Polish Border Guard, and Natalia Vince, spokesperson for the Krakow Balice Airport.
The reason for not allowing them in is not disclosed. Both Ukrainians lost their passenger status but refused to leave the exit area.
This caused an hour-long delay in the plane's departure, and border guards from the special response group were called in. The border guard noted that handcuffs were put on one of the Ukrainians for “preventive purposes”.
“But this was a preventive measure, just to get him to the service area, where he was immediately relaxed. The men did not resist, but were in an agitated state,” he said.
The Ukrainians were interviewed, they were not given any punishment, they were only given a warning. The Ukrainian consul also arrived at the airport.
According to the border guard, such incidents happen at this airport several times a week.
