Overview

• On July 24, officers removed two men from a delayed Jet2 flight at Leeds Bradford Airport after they drank a duty-free bottle of vodka and overwhelmed cabin crew.
• West Yorkshire Police arrested both passengers on suspicion of affray and released them on bail pending further enquiries.
• Jet2 enforced its zero-tolerance policy by banning the disruptive pair from all future flights following what it called “appalling behaviour.”
• The Airport Operators Association’s One Too Many initiative is now active at over 20 UK airports to promote responsible drinking and deter alcohol-fuelled incidents.
• Industry signatories to a voluntary Code of Practice are strengthening measures under the Air Navigation Order for identifying, managing and reporting disruptive passengers.
