Overview

  • After boarding Jet2 flight LS1181 from Birmingham to Ibiza, a passenger downed a bottle of duty-free vodka in about ten seconds, igniting the disruption.
  • The flight’s scheduled 6:15 PM departure was pushed back two and a half hours as cabin crew and fellow travellers struggled to manage the intoxicated man’s behaviour, with takeoff logged at 8:44 PM.
  • Mid-flight, the passenger stood in the aisle, shouted at cabin staff, threw clothing at another traveller and knocked a fellow passenger’s cap off in a heated confrontation.
  • The pilot intervened over the PA system to order the man to sit down after he refused to comply with crew instructions at altitude.
  • Jet2 confirmed a lifetime ban for the passenger to uphold its family-friendly zero-tolerance policy on disruptive in-flight conduct.
