Similar Incident
In November 2024, Jet2 (LS) flight LS110 from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Glasgow Airport (GLA) ended with police action after two passengers allegedly disrupted the cabin crew handling a medical emergency.
Authorities arrested two women after landing in Glasgow, following reports of abusive behaviour and disturbance onboard the Jet2 service arriving from Antalya (AYT).
In-Flight Incident Leads to Police Action in Glasgow
Trouble reportedly began during the Antalya to Glasgow service on Saturday evening when cabin crew were managing a medical emergency involving another passenger.
Witness accounts indicate two women travelling together repeatedly demanded alcohol and allegedly behaved aggressively toward staff. Cabin crew reportedly instructed them several times to remain seated while attention was focused on the unwell passenger.
Tensions escalated further once the aircraft landed in Scotland, with passengers describing chaotic scenes before police officers boarded and escorted the pair from the aircraft.
The flight departed Antalya at approximately 4:25 pm and arrived in Glasgow around 6:25 pm local time.
Police Response and Charges Filed
Police Scotland confirmed officers responded to reports of disturbance on board the inbound flight shortly after arrival.
A 33-year-old woman was arrested and charged in connection with the incident and is scheduled to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court. Authorities confirmed that a report will be forwarded to the Procurator Fiscal.
A 50-year-old woman was also charged, with a report likewise submitted to prosecutors.
Investigations into the onboard disturbance followed standard aviation security and public order procedures.
Cabin Crew Praised for Handling Medical Emergency
Despite the disruption, several passengers praised the crew for prioritizing the medical situation involving another traveller during the flight.
Witnesses noted that staff continued assisting the ill passenger while attempting to manage the disruptive behaviour elsewhere in the cabin.
Passengers commended the crew’s professionalism under pressure, highlighting the challenges faced when emergencies and disruptive conduct occur simultaneously onboard.
Flight Disruptions and Passenger Safety
Airlines maintain strict policies against disruptive passenger behaviour, particularly during emergencies where crew attention is required elsewhere.
Incidents involving alcohol-related disturbances or refusal to follow crew instructions can result in arrests, flight diversions, or legal consequences after landing.
Aviation authorities consistently emphasize that compliance with cabin crew instructions is critical to maintaining passenger safety throughout the journey.
