The flight crew tries to step in to calm the situation … but, that doesn’t tamp down tensions at all — the confrontation quickly turns physical, leading to a massive brawl.
Punches are thrown, one man ends up in a chokehold, and the airplane cabin descends into chaos.
According to a statement from Jet2, two men were off-loaded in Brussels and handed over to law enforcement. The flight then continued on to Manchester.
Jet2 said … “We can confirm that the two disruptive passengers will be banned from flying with us for life. We will also vigorously pursue them to recover the costs that we incurred as a result of this diversion.”
