Jet2 bans two passengers for life after midair brawl causing flight diversion from Turkey to UK

Jet2 airline has permanently banned two passengers following a violent altercation on a flight from Antalya, Turkey, to Manchester, UK, which resulted in an emergency diversion to Brussels. The incident occurred midair on February 12, with footage shared on social media showing passengers shouting, fighting, and causing chaos in the cabin. Belgian police arrested the two men, who were later released after being briefly detained due to intoxication. The airline stated it would pursue costs related to the diversion and emphasized its zero-tolerance policy on disruptive behavior. This incident adds to a rising trend of air rage, with reports of increased midair conflicts since the COVID-19 pandemic. Jet2 has previously banned disruptive passengers, including cases involving physical violence and flight diversions. Experts cite cramped cabin conditions as a contributing factor to such incidents, which can escalate quickly and involve multiple passengers and crew trying to de-escalate the situation.
