Shocking moment ‘drunken’ duo spark mayhem on Wizz Air flight after bringing along their own booze

THIS is the shocking moment a seemingly intoxicated duo caused mayhem on a Wizz Air flight after they brought their own booze on board.

James Burrows, from Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, captured the chaos aboard his Wizz Air flight to Cyprus on June 27, 2024.

The woman, who was apparently drunk, started loudly shouting and swearing at other passengers and staff.

A spokesperson for Wizz Air said: “For safety purposes, passengers are prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages not purchased on the aircraft.

“Unfortunately, two passengers on board the flight from London Gatwick to Larnaca on 27th June were seen consuming personal alcohol, despite being reminded on several occasions that this was not permitted.

“The individuals initially resisted cooperation with staff who were doing their job to protect the health and safety of other passengers and the crew, which is Wizz Air’s top priority.

“After further conversations, staff were able to de-escalate the situation and relocate the individuals to different seats to minimise disruption.

“We do not tolerate any aggressive behaviour towards our crew or passengers and would like to apologise to passengers who experienced any distress as a result of the incident.”

The plane eventually landed at Larnaca Airport.

It comes after a Ryanair “flight from hell” had to be diverted just 36 minutes into its journey after a “mass brawl” broke out between passengers midair, earlier this month.

A passenger on board the evening flight from Agadir to London Stansted said a row broke out between two families during boarding.

It started when a man, thought to be in his late 20s, asked another passenger to move so he could sit with his wife and young children.

The woman, who was sitting with her own daughter, reportedly refused to budge - prompting the thug to start threatening her.

The flight took off with no problems, but as soon as the seat belt signs came off, the passenger’s husband, understood to be in his 30s, is said to have jumped to his wife’s defence.

Punches were reportedly thrown between the two men while Ryanair staff attempted to intervene.

Also earlier this month, a Ryanair flight to Tenerife was diverted as a result of a "conflictive" passenger.

The flight from Liverpool was forced to emergency land after crew called cops on a holidaymaker.

Last month, 26 passengers were kicked off an easyJet flight after cops were called to deal with "disruptive behaviour".

It is understood the men boarded the plane before they were ejected by the police and then denied re-boarding for a flight from Glasgow to Faro in Portugal.

In February this year, "out of control" passengers were hauled off a Ryanair flight after they began fighting and "throwing bottles" on the plane.

The shocking incident left children "terrified" and "in tears" while onboard the travelling from to .
