Overview
- West Yorkshire Police boarded the aircraft on its return to Leeds Bradford and arrested a man on suspicion of an offence under the Aviation Security Act 1982.
- Officers later said the man was charged with entering an aircraft while drunk and bailed to appear before Leeds magistrates on 8 September.
- The Boeing 737 turned back roughly 100 miles into the journey, near Leicester, after the captain reported a disruptive incident onboard.
- The return to Leeds delayed up to 188 passengers by about four hours before the flight departed again at around 11pm.
- Jet2 imposed a six-month flying ban on the passenger and reiterated its zero‑tolerance policy as passenger video showed him taunting others and shouting, “Put your phone down and fight one on one.”
