More like “spirit” airlines?
Unruly passengers wreaked havoc on a Wizz Air flight after allegedly getting drunk on their own liquor, as seen in a viral video taking off online.
“The individuals initially resisted cooperation with staff who were doing their job to protect the health and safety of other passengers,” a spokesperson for the Hungarian budget carrier told Caters News Agency of the wild incident.
The booze-fueled bedlam occurred last month on a flight from London, UK to Larnaca, Cyprus.
In the appalling footage, snapped by passenger James Burrows, a seemingly intoxicated woman can be seen wandering the aisles swearing at other flyers as crew members try and calm her.
At one point, the allegedly inebriated flyer and another mile-high hellion guzzle large cans of beer, which they reportedly brought from home — clearly not exercising “booze control.”
The aforementioned representative claimed that the pair were “reminded on several occasions that this was not permitted.”
“For safety purposes, passengers are prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages not purchased on the aircraft,” they added.
The pair initially ignored attempts by flight attendants to de-escalate the situation, before eventually capitulating.
They were subsequently relocated to other seats to prevent further disruptions, as seen in the clip.
“We do not tolerate any aggressive behavior towards our crew or passengers and would like to apologize to passengers who experienced any distress as a result of the incident,” declared the Wizz Air spokesperson.
This isn’t the first time allegedly bring-your-own-booze-ers have caused a ruckus at 30,000 feet.
In January, a flight attendant left a group of women “high and dry” after busting them for drinking their own booze on a plane.
