There was a disturbance on a flight from Manchester to Rose, when an elderly woman assaulted a flight attendant. A woman in her 70s reportedly became aggressive during it flight after her request for free champagne was denied. She then ordered a gin and tonic, but a cabin crew member allegedly took the drink away from her.
In a video that has seen the light of day, a member of the crew can be seen trying to calm the woman down. The Jet2 flight attendant is seen trying to hold the woman’s hands, which she is waving.
At one point the woman got up from her seat and slapped the employee twice in the face, according to her Daily Mail.
Another crew member is seen helping him hold the woman as she falls back into her seat.
A passenger, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed the woman also urinated on her seat before the plane finally landed in Germany. “A woman on the flight repeatedly asked the flight attendants for free champagne. The flight attendant told the woman she was not part of the service and ended up buying a gin and tonic. She started getting aggressive so the flight attendant took her drink away. He started cursing and having violent outbursts. At one point he got up and tried to open the cabin door mid-flight. At this point she was sitting in the back with two male passengers trying to hold her down as she punched people. He urinated over three seats and had repeated violent outbursts until we had to make an emergency landing in Munich,” it said.
The passenger, who said they had to wait in Germany for more than two hours, added: “Jet2 handled this situation very well and the pilot on the plane gave everyone free drinks.”
“We can confirm that flight LS819 from Manchester to Rhodes was diverted to Munich Airport yesterday in order to disembark a disruptive passenger. We would like to apologize to customers for this unforeseen delay and any inconvenience caused. The health and safety of our colleagues and customers remains our number one priority and, as a family-friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour. We will not hesitate to vigorously pursue any costs incurred as a result of this diversion,” a Jet2 spokesperson noted.
