Ryanair Overheats Passengers At Eindhoven Airport

Ryanair kept doors closed while passengers sitting in overheated Ryanair aircraft ready for departure to Mallorca. The airconditioning of the airplane was not functioning. The outside temperature was 35 degrees Celcius in the shade.

From what I understand the airport handling did not have an external airco unit available because it was busy with planes on the tarmac. However Ryanair decide to start boarding. After boarding the pax had to wait for 45 minutes (some sources say several hours.) in the plane with no airco. Also door were not allowed to be opened. When a fight broke out in the plane the Military Police came and ordered everyone to leave the plane.
The pilot objected to the evacuation I understand.

Pax were flown with another plane to Mallorca.
