Sober Russians detained for shouting at crew and passengers on a flight

Following a rowdy incident on an easyJet flight from Manchester to Turkey, two Russian males have been detained.

The 48-year-old and 39-year-old were dragged from the aircraft by police in Greece after the captain made a diversion there because they wouldn’t calm down.

Although there was no violence, according to the authorities, they began yelling at the staff and passengers.

The men were accused of upsetting the peace, interfering with transportation, and failing to follow the crew’s orders.

They were released pending trial but were forced to stay in a police station as they had no Greek visas.

The flight to Dalaman took off without the pair, though it’s believed they will be put on another flight to Turkey later on Sunday.

A spokesperson for easyJet said: ‘easyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.

‘Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard.’
