Chaos breaks out on board an airplane as passenger is accused of despicable act after dispute breaks out over the toilet before takeoff
A Queensland man's flight home ended before it took off after he was kicked off the plane for allegedly assaulting a cabin crew member. Australian Federal Police officers were called to the tarmac at Perth Airport on July 14 following a request for assistance on a departing flight. Sean Joseph Howland, 59, wanted to use the bathroom as the four-and-a-half-hour flight bound for Brisbane was preparing for departure and allegedly refused instructions from cabin crew to take his seat. He then allegedly pushed the crew member, which was reported to the flight captain, who requested officers to attend the gate. Police allege Howland was uncooperative as he was arrested and removed from the plane. A photo released this week showed Howland, dressed in business attire, sitting in the back of a police van. Howland was charged with one count of assaulting a crew member and is due to appear in Perth Magistrates Court later on Tuesday. The alleged incident occurred at Perth Airport (pictured) The maximum penalty for this offence in WA is 14 years in jail. 'The AFP has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to the assault or mistreatment of airline staff, and anyone who commits such an offence can be prosecuted,' AFP Inspector Peter Brindal said. Passengers who notice unruly behaviour in the terminal or on a plane are urged to report it to Airport Watch on 131 237.

Tui flight lands on burst tyre at East Midlands airport causing delays and diversions
A Tui flight has landed on a burst tyre at East Midlands airport causing a series of delays and diversions as the aircraft was unable to be immediately moved. Flight BY7113 departed from Birmingham airport on Monday but was diverted mid-air after the punctured tyre was identified. The plane landed at the Leicestershire terminal. All passengers were evacuated, but the aircraft continued to block the runway. Flights at East Midlands were temporarily prevented from taking off as a consequence of the incident, with some being diverted to nearby Birmingham airport. A spokesperson for East Midlands airport told The Independent: 'We accepted a diverted TUI aircraft this afternoon that was due to land at Birmingham Airport, after it declared an emergency with a punctured tyre. 'It landed safely and several procedures were carried out to ensure the safety of all passengers on board before they were disembarked and taken to Birmingham Airport by coach. 'Our runway is now fully operational but the incident prevented other aircraft from taking off or landing on our runway for around two hours. This led to seven inbound flight diversions and five outbound delays. 'We apologise for any inconvenience caused and continue to advise passengers to contact their airline for the latest updates.' A statement published to social media by East Midlands airport at 2.28pm noted that it had accepted the diverted Tui aircraft from Birmingham Airport.
