As the flight from Edinburgh to Antalya, Turkey was coming to an end, chaos erupted on board. A Celtic fan, who had allegedly consumed a full bottle of Gold Ivy vodka, became belligerent and aggressive towards other passengers. Video footage captured the man, donning a Celtic football top, repeatedly trying to punch those around him.
According to witnesses, the altercation began after another passenger, also a Celtic supporter, confronted the drunken man about his behavior. The situation quickly escalated, with the man attempting to punch anyone in his path, including a Turkish police officer. Despite efforts from both staff and other passengers, the man continued to lash out and scream, causing distress to those on board, including children.
It was reported that the man had smuggled the bottle of vodka on board and refused to hand it over when asked by flight attendants. He claimed he needed it for "protection." As the plane landed, the man continued to cause a scene, even attempting to fight the police officers who boarded the aircraft.
Thankfully, the disruptive passenger was eventually removed from the flight by authorities. Many passengers breathed a sigh of relief and even cheered as he was taken away. However, the ordeal had caused distress to many, including the witness's 12-year-old son and several other children on the flight. Some families even chose to relocate to empty seats further away from the unruly fan.
A spokesperson for the airline, easyJet, confirmed the incident and emphasized their commitment to the safety and well-being of their passengers and crew. They also stressed that such disruptive behavior is not tolerated and will be taken seriously. Unfortunately, this is not the first time easyJet has dealt with violent passengers, as a similar incident occurred last year on a flight from Manchester to the Canary Islands.
It is a shame that a seemingly enjoyable trip to Turkey was marred by the actions of one drunken individual. It serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible drinking and respecting those around us. Let us all strive to create a safe and pleasant environment for our fellow travelers.
