Actor kicked off Edinburgh Jet2 flight and given lifetime ban over 'Pringles row'
The actor says he was "trying to defend himself" after claims he was "aggressive and drunk".
An actor has hit out at Jet2 after being thrown off an Edinburgh flight and issued with a lifetime ban following a " row over Pringles".
Mustafa Denizkan, also known as Elunico Hazaver, claims he was unfairly taken off flight LS721. The aircraft left Edinburgh Airport for Larnaca in Cyprus on May 10 at around 3pm, before it was diverted to Thessaloniki in Greece.
Denizkan claims he was taken off the flight after an "argument between himself, a passenger and the cabin crew". However, he says that reports of him being "aggressive, drunk and dangerous" are incorrect, reports Edinburgh Live.
The actor is known for starring in Turkish drama Gönül İşleri, and 2002 short film Yaprak. Taking to Instagram to "clarify", Denizkan said: "I am currently on medication for a number of medical conditions.
"When the cabin crew started serving the passengers, I waited until the cabin crew trolley was in my row. When the member of the cabin crew came in the row I was, I waited until she asked me what I wanted to order and she continued pushing the trolley through the back without asking me anything.
"After 10 minutes I pressed the button. A member of the cabin crew came and asked me what I wanted.
"She was a bit rude. I told her I wanted water and Pringles. She told me to wait for my turn. I said okay. I waited for another 10 minutes and pressed the button again. The same person came and told me to wait again. I waited for another 10 minutes and pressed the button again."
Denizkan claims he was asked to stop pushing the button. He then admitted raising his voice to the cabin crew, and was allegedly told he wouldn't be served.
He continued: "Another passenger got involved and started to shout at me. The guy who shouted at me grabbed my necklaces and ripped them off and I tried to defend myself by pushing him away. That's all!
"I did not punch anyone, I was not drunk. I did not abuse anyone."
At the time of the incident, another passenger uploaded footage to TikTok of the incident. The clip, which was posted by @jj_bowe, said: "Jet2holidays: Where fists fly before the plane does."
She accompanied the post by saying: "Shoutout to the guy who thought assaulting crew mid-air was a vibe - thanks for the five hour delay and the unexpected Greek mini-break, legend."
Jet2 has been approached for comment.

Can you spot the 10 horses trying to sneak into Royal Ascot in under 30 seconds?
The Royal Ascot kicks off tomorrow (June 17). The world famous horse racing festival starts on Tuesday, June 17, and runs until Saturday, June 21, and will draw viewers and gamblers from across the globe. Thousands of fans will also make their way to Ascot each day for flat racing's summer showpiece, and they are expected to be joined by King Charles and Queen Camilla, who have several horses competing throughout the week. The Gee-Gees and their jockeys will be competing for more than £10million in prize money during the five-day spectacle, so it's not surprising The Royal Ascot has attracted the leading competitors from all across the planet. And Mecca Games have created a fun brainteaser that challenges you to find 10 horses who are trying to sneak into the event in a bid to get their hands on a share of the spoils. However, there is something about each one of the animals that makes them stand out from the crowd. From the fabulous hats that have long been associated with Ascot to unique manes and tails, it is your job to act as security and pick out the rogue racehorses trying to disrupt proceedings. The image shows 30 horses in rows on a green field - but a third of them don't belong. Can you pick out the 10 imposters? And, to make it trickier, can you manage it in under 30 seconds? If you think you've got what it takes to keep the sneaky stallions out of Royal Ascot, scroll down and give it a go. How are you getting on? Some of them are fairly obvious, but picking out all 10 in half a minute can prove challenging. Have you got them all yet? Or are you giving up? Either way, scroll down below to find the solution. Some of the imposters would have jumped out right away, with the winged unicorn probably the easiest one to find. The dressed up gee-gees were also on the easier side, including one with a fetching pink sunhat, one carrying a handbag, one with a saddle, and another with clunky shoes instead of hooves. Others had stylised parts of their body, with one rocking a red mane, another with a purple tail, and a third with yellow hooves and eyes. Near the bottom, one horse was a slightly darker brown to most of the others in the image, and the tenth imposter had removed their tail entirely. Did you get all of them in 30 seconds? If so, congratulations! And if you want to try some more, then we've got you covered. Only 20 per cent of people can solve this Irish-themed puzzle in under a minute. And this testing teaser challenges you to work out which woman is the boy's real mum. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

John Lundstram parties with Premier League best pal as ex Rangers star gets behind the decks at music festival
Lundstram appeared in video shared on social media looking relaxed as he partied with fellow Scouser Ross Barkley. John Lundstram was called out by his ex Rangers boss Philippe Clement in an interview last week. But it looked to be the furthest thing from the former Ibrox iron man's mind as he lived it up during a break in Barcelona. Lundstram appeared in a video shared on social media looking relaxed as he partied with fellow Scouser Ross Barkley. Aston Villa star Barkley posted a video to his followers on Instagram as he partied in the Catalan capital. And Lundstram joined the 31-year-old in the Spanish city as they enjoyed their summer break. The pair have been close friends since they were teenagers, having played for Everton and England U20s. The duo were at an all-night music event in one of Spain's most lively cities. Footage shared on social media showed the duo in the the VIP area of Eastenderz - OFFWEEK Castle's 6pm to 6am event in Barcelona. Eight artists performed through the night at the event. Lundstram departed Ibrox last summer and joined Turkish side Trabzonspor. In an interview last week, Clement pointed the finger at the Englishman and Borna Barisic, who joined Lundstram in Turkey, as having his mind on his next move during his final months at Rangers. The Belgian said: 'If I look back, two players who were not good in those two games (against Ross County and Dundee where they dropped points) they left at the end of the season on a free transfer. 'They were at that moment busy also talking with other teams with their agents, about their future and all those things. 'Probably, and maybe, it had an affect on them. Did they not want to become Rangers? For sure not. They wanted to become champions and give everything. 'But the situation to be at the end of the contract at that moment of the season was also not a good one.'
