The passengers were taken off the LS896 from Antalya, in Turkey by police officers.
Unruly passengers have been banned for life after being booted off a Jet2 flight back to the UK.
The travellers have now been told they will not be able to use the airline again after their ‘appalling behaviour’ on board flight LS896 from Antalya, in Turkey, on Thursday.
The flight to Manchester turned violent as cops had to step in. Video footage of the incident appears to show several other passengers caught up in the melee, reports the Mirror.
One clip appears to show three men standing in the aisle of the plane, with one reaching out to grab a passenger’s phone, before attempting to grab the face of the man in front.
Manchester Evening News reports the passenger at the centre of the melee appears to be pushed back, before another man attempts to diffuse the situation. But another passenger, standing further back, starts to point towards someone else.
That man then appears to push the first man involved in the disorder, before reaching out to grab him. Then, a passenger can be seen in a headlock from another man on board, while a member of cabin crew can be seen moving the first man involved towards the back of the plane.
Other passengers can be seen watching proceedings, while several shouts and screams can be heard. A police officer can later be seen removing one passenger from the ground, with another heard chanting: “Time to go, time to go.”
Police stormed the flight after it was forced to divert to Brussels, with the Jet2 plane finally making its way to Manchester late last night.
A spokesperson for Jet2 confirmed the passengers have been banned. They said: “Flight LS896 from Antalya to Manchester diverted to Brussels yesterday, due to the appalling behaviour of two disruptive passengers. They were both offloaded by police in Brussels and the flight continued to Manchester.
“We can confirm that the two disruptive passengers will be banned from flying with us for life, and we will also vigorously pursue them to recover the costs that we incurred as a result of this diversion.
“As a family friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour, and we are very sorry that other customers and our colleagues onboard had to experience this too.”
