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. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.
