Drunk passengers cause mayhem on flight after bringing own booze
More like “spirits” airlines?
Unruly passengers wreaked havoc on a Wizz Air flight after allegedly getting drunk on their own alcohol, as seen in a viral video taking off online.
“The individuals initially resisted cooperation with staff who were doing their job to protect the health and safety of other passengers,” a spokesperson for the Hungarian budget carrier told Caters News Agency of the wild incident.
The booze-fueled bedlam occurred last month on a flight from London to Larnaca, Cyprus.
In the appalling footage, captured by passenger James Burrows, a seemingly intoxicated woman wanders the aisles swearing at other flyers as crew members try to calm her.
At one point, the allegedly inebriated flyer and another mile-high hellion are seen guzzling large cans of beer, which they reportedly brought from home — clearly not exercising “booze control.”
The aforementioned representative claimed that the pair were “reminded on several occasions that this was not permitted.
“For safety purposes, passengers are prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages not purchased on the aircraft,” the rep added.
The pair initially ignored attempts by flight attendants to de-escalate the situation, before eventually capitulating.
They were subsequently relocated to other seats to prevent further disruptions, as seen in the clip.
“We do not tolerate any aggressive behavior towards our crew or passengers and would like to apologize to passengers who experienced any distress as a result of the incident,” declared the Wizz Air spokesperson.
This isn’t the first time alleged BYOB-ers have caused a ruckus at 30,000 feet.
In January, a flight attendant left a group of women “high and dry” after busting them for drinking their own booze on a plane.
