Drunk Passenger Arrested After Disrupting Flight to Cyprus

A British woman was arrested in Germany following a disturbance on a Jet2 flight bound for Cyprus. The flight, originating from Manchester and destined for Larnaca, was diverted and forced to land early due to the woman's aggressive actions. She reportedly assaulted fellow passengers and crew members, exhibiting violent behavior that prompted the unscheduled landing at Cologne Bonn Airport on Thursday evening.

Upon landing, German police apprehended the 41-year-old woman. Authorities described her as being heavily intoxicated. She was subsequently taken into custody to sober up and is scheduled for deportation. A police spokesperson confirmed the arrest and the woman's detention.

German police issued a warning regarding alcohol consumption before flights, highlighting the intensified effects of alcohol during air travel. They explained that factors such as lower air pressure and altered oxygen levels can amplify the impact of alcohol. The police emphasized that aggressive behavior poses a risk to other passengers and can compromise flight safety, urging responsible alcohol consumption during air travel. The initial flight experienced further delays due to a technical issue after the diversion, requiring passengers to wait for a replacement aircraft.

This incident follows a similar event involving a British couple on an EasyJet flight to Alicante. The couple was arrested after allegedly boasting about their intention to engage in sexual activity mid-flight. Reports indicate that loud noises were heard from the aircraft's restroom, prompting intervention from cabin crew members and causing distress among the passengers.
