An easyJet flight from London Gatwick to Antalya, Turkey, was forced to divert to Kosovo after two drunk passengers caused a disturbance. The man and woman, both from Kent but not travelling together, were arrested after their behaviour escalated.
According to passengers, the woman was drinking vodka from a bottle and allegedly spat at a fellow passenger when asked to stop. The man reportedly bragged about having been to prison and threatened to kill anyone who complained.
The Airbus A320 was diverted to Pristina, Kosovo, where police boarded and arrested the pair. The flight then continued to Antalya, arriving three hours late.
A passenger described the behaviour as 'terrifying', noting that the woman was travelling with her partner and young children. easyJet stated: 'We do not tolerate disruptive behaviour. The safety of customers and crew is always our highest priority.'
