(France 2)

Around ten passengers exchanged blows during a flight from Agadir to London on Wednesday 10 July. These incidents are increasing in the United Kingdom and are often linked to alcohol.

Passengers on a plane, plunged into a nightmare above the clouds. Blows were exchanged between nine people, and another was placed on oxygen, this Wednesday, July 10, on board a flight from Agadir to London. At the origin of this brawl, a simple dispute between two families over an exchange of seats. The altercation turned into a general brawl.

The plane was forced to land in Marrakech, Morocco, 36 minutes after taking off from Agadir. It then took two hours to disembark the troublemakers. Such incidents are common on flights to the UK, where the number of problems related to agitated passengers has tripled in three years.

Videos show a British man hitting his seat neighbours and another attacking the pilot. Often, drunken passengers are to blame. Kristina Galvydyte, a flight attendant, confirms that she has often been “anxious“to work on certain destinations,”like Ibiza, where the English go to party and drink alcohol.”
