'Uncontrollable' Jet2 passengers drunk on vodka dragged from plane by police
Two men were arrested on suspicion of affray following a disturbance on a Jet2 plane. A waiting flight descended into chaos when two allegedly 'uncontrollable' and "drunk" passengers had to be removed. On July 24, the commotion occurred onboard a Jet2 flight from Leeds Bradford Airport to Chania International Airport in Greece. After the flight was delayed, passenger Ian Boyle said two friends became unruly after they began drinking a duty-free bottle of vodka during the wait, reports the Mirror. Video footage shows police boarding the aircraft and escorting the two disruptive passengers off the plane. It comes after a pilot's wife says there's one thing tourists wear that airport security absolutely hates. 'The airline staff were doing their best but the drunk guy just overwhelmed them,' Ian said. "The police had to intervene because the man was so drunk he was uncontrollable.' The men were later seen being led off the tarmac, each accompanied by several officers. Ian continued: "Apparently, the two friends brought a duty-free bottle of vodka on board and thought it was okay to drink it while we were delayed.' He added: "It was quite a serious altercation. There were kids on board who may never want to fly again." The alleged incident was referred to by West Yorkshire Police. In a statement, police said: "On 24 July, police received a request for assistance following a report of a disturbance at Leeds Bradford Airport. Officers attended and arrested two males on suspicion of affray. "Both were later bailed pending further enquiries." A Jet2 spokesperson said: "We can confirm that two disruptive passengers have been banned from flying with us, following their appalling behaviour which led to police having to offload them. "As a family friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour.' On Monday we previously reported, in a separate incident, that a had appeared in court after an incident where a man allegedly "shouted about a bomb" on a flight bound for Glasgow. Abhay Devdas Nayak, 41, appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday July 28. He was charged with assault and also with a charge under The Air Navigation Order 2016 article 240 which makes it an offence to recklessly or negligently act in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft or anyone within it. Nayak, of Luton, made no plea and was remanded in custody while the case was committed for further examination. He is expected to reappear in the dock within the eight days after. Easyjet passengers were forced to tackle a man on board the EZY609 flight from London Luton on the morning of Sunday, July 27. Footage shared on social media showed a male appearing to say on the journey that he wanted to "send a message to Donald Trump". In the video, a passenger appeared to be saying: "I'm going to bomb the plane. Death to America. Death to Trump." Shocked passengers were seen watching on as a man continued to scream at the top of his voice at the back of the aircraft. One man then got out of his seat and tackled a male passenger to the ground before another pinned him to the ground and said "don't move". It's understood some passengers were left in tears as a man was handcuffed and removed from the plane by police. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
