Passenger tries to open plane door on Zadar flight

NEWS FLASH


A British boxer had to be removed from a Zadar to London Stansted flight operated by Ryanair last Friday after he tried to open the plane door and was subsequently tackled by fellow passengers, video footage posted online this week has revealed. The plane was taxiing to the runway and preparing for takeoff at the time the incident took place. The boxer was recorded getting up from his seat and yelling before heading to the front of the plane to demand staff to open the door. Two passengers sprung into action to restrain the 27-year-old by tackling him to the ground. The woman who filmed the incident claimed most passengers were returning from Croatia’s Hideout festival. She also suggested the man was drunk and potentially under the influence of drugs. The British tourist was later filmed being escorted off the plane and dragged across the airport’s tarmac. The Zadar Police Department confirmed a 27-year-old British man had been arrested and the force had launched an investigation into the incident. The Ryanair flight, operated by a Lauda Europe A320, was delayed by over two hours on departure as a result of the incident. Commenting on the matter, Ryanair said, "This flight from Zadar to London Stansted returned to the stand when an individual passenger became disruptive while preparing for takeoff. The passenger was removed from the aircraft by local police before the flight continued safely to London Stansted. This is now a matter for local police. We sincerely apologise to affected passengers for any inconvenience caused as a result of this passenger's disruptive behaviour".

      From all resorts experiences I had they are by far the worst; Russians are not even close. Once in Kerkira I watched them even climbing a house gutter at 2 AM in order to settle something with a Greek house owner.

      It has a lot to do with the demographics it attracts. I do not have much against those airlines, but the passengers.

      Democratisation of flying has its consequences too and not only to the environment.

      seems like you are to boujee to fly with LCC. I would give anything to have a few more wizz flights in LJU or MBX or to have Ryanair flights from Slovenian airports. But I guess not everyone are for those “crappy” planes and “cheap” people on this flights. Shameless

      Shameless or not, we have a choice. Those LCC basically are not doing anything to support better paying jobs and business. Just bringing the beer people, such you can see in that clip. Regular airlines flying to business destinations will not bring as much benefits.

    People who have been to the UK have told me different stories with these... I just burst out laughing. We think that we are bad in the Balkans, but it is not so and in the west it is not so rosy.

      The mentality of the European is the same, the difference is that there is control there for the difference from us..

    Another pretty much similar invident happend yesterday at Ljubljana and once again it was flight to London. Easyjet flight was taxing to takeoff spot and was forced to return to gate due invident betwee the two female passengers. The were screaming on each other and fighting. The plane flew back to London without passengers and they will return to London today, one day after the incident. Police reportedly took both women with them.
