Flight Diverted by Onboard Fight | Aberdeen News
Description
An easyJet flight bound for Liverpool was forced to return to Tenerife after a massive brawl erupted among about ten passengers just 30 minutes into the flight. The pilot deemed it unsafe to continue, and police met the plane upon landing. While no arrests were made, authorities removed the troublemakers, allowing the remaining 186 passengers to safely complete their journey. This incident highlights a troubling uptick in flight disruptions—up nearly 300% since the pandemic—with behavior ranging from drunken brawls to stripping. In response, the UK government is exploring a new system to ban disruptive flyers across all airlines by sharing passenger data and denying them future flights.
