An easyJet passenger over imbibed and caused flight U28235, which was scheduled between London Gatwick Airport (LGW) and Kos International Airport (KGS), to divert to Munich International Airport (MUC). The intoxicated passenger became agitated when the aircraft hit some turbulence and began arguing with other passengers.

The captain decided to make a stop in Germany so that German police could arrest the passenger and get him off of the plane. While the man’s in-flight behavior was not documented, the video above shows the other passengers cheering and clapping as he is led off of the plane by law enforcement.
In addition to arguing with other passengers, the whiskey-fueled man broke the intercom on the Airbus A320 and reportedly got physical with crew. Another male passenger restrained him so that the flight could safely land at its diversion point. Unfortunately, the flight from Munich to Kos had to be pushed to the next day and passengers were provided with meal and hotel vouchers.
easyJet released the following statement to The New York Post:
Safety is easyJet’s highest priority and our cabin crew are trained to assess and act quickly and appropriately in all situations to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time. While such incidents are rare, we take them very seriously and do not tolerate abusive or threatening behavior onboard.”
Anthony’s Take: This does not surprise me. I encountered similar drunken antics on a Ryanair flight last month. People really need to watch their alcohol and learn to behave in public.
