Oasis fans travelling from Manchester to Naples were left shaken after a drunk passenger caused havoc on their flight, forcing an emergency landing in Germany.
Witnesses described the terrifying moment when the intoxicated man became aggressive, shouting and threatening fellow passengers. The situation escalated so quickly that the pilot had no choice but to divert the flight to Cologne.
Chaos in the Cabin
Passengers reported that the man, who appeared heavily intoxicated, began causing trouble shortly after take-off. "He was shouting obscenities and lunging at people," one traveller recalled. "It was absolutely terrifying - we didn't know what he might do next."
Cabin crew attempted to calm the situation but were forced to restrain the disruptive passenger as the disturbance continued.
Emergency Landing
The pilot made the decision to land at Cologne Bonn Airport, where German police boarded the plane and removed the aggressive passenger. "We were all so relieved when the police came on board," another passenger said. "But it added hours to our journey and completely ruined what should have been an exciting trip to see Oasis."
The flight eventually continued to Naples after a three-hour delay, leaving many passengers shaken by their experience.
Airline Response
The airline has confirmed they are investigating the incident and praised their crew for handling the situation professionally. A spokesperson stated: "The safety and comfort of our passengers is our top priority. We apologise to those affected by this unfortunate incident."
This shocking event serves as a reminder of the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption on flights, with airlines increasingly cracking down on disruptive behaviour.
