Couple leave their baby at Israeli airport check-in while attempting to board Ryanair flight after refusing to buy a ticket for the child
A couple left their baby at an Israeli airport check-in while attempting to board a Ryanair flight after refusing to buy a ticket for the child.
Two parents with Belgian passports were detained by police after leaving their baby at the check-in at the Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The couple attempted to board a Ryanair flight from Tel Aviv to Brussels, but they didn’t have a ticket for their baby.
They refused to pay for one and seemed to have left their baby in the stroller as they walked to passport control.

Airport staff noticed what had happened and contacted the police, who found the parents and took them in for questioning.
The manager of the Ryanair desk said everyone was in shock and told the Jerusalem Post: ‘We’ve never seen anything like this. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing.’
According to the Israel Airports Authority, what happened was that the couple arrived late to Terminal 1 after the check-in counter was closed.
They wanted to go through to deal with security and simply left their baby on the conveyor belt at the area.
