An easyJet flight was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger punched a stewardess to the floor because he was “waiting too long for a sandwich”. The flight, travelling from Geneva to Pristina yesterday morning, landed in Rome where the man was arrested. Witnesses say the man could be heard shouting “I’ve been waiting for hours, I’m hungry”. Another traveller said, “He shouted at the stewardess, then he stood up and punched her and when she fell to the floor, he carried on hitting her”. Other passengers on board the plane rushed over to restrain the man as the journey was diverted to Fumincino Airport. In a statement the airline said, "easyJet can confirm that flight EZS1483 from Geneva to Pristina on March 31 diverted to Rome as a result of a passenger on board behaving in a disruptive manner. The aircraft was met by the police on arrival in Rome and the passenger was arrested. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority. Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously, do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour on board and always push for prosecution”.
1st April!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is not a April 1 joke. EasyJet confirmed the attack and said its cabin crew member had been injured and her glasses had been broken.
DeleteThere is plenty of food in jail. He will not be hungry any more.
ReplyDeleteEasyJet service, you choose to fly with LCC, expect shitty service. Can understand passenger in question got really annoyed, still violence is never the answer.
ReplyDeleteEasyJet must improve on service, clearly they are still lacking in that department.
seriously ?!!
Deleteyou are out of your mind!
Delete^ above person. Are you insane, or just stupid? The story is about a VIOLENT ASSAULT and you are blabbering on about EasyJet's service, claiming you can "understand why he did it". What a loser. Get some perspective.

DeleteYou do not understand. He PAID for food (that sandwich) and did not get it. It is not included in ticket you must pay for it and obviously he did not get it. Kad si gladan nisi svoj....It is s.... LCC.
ReplyDeleteSo, when you pay you, the violent assault is acceptable. Pull your thoughts together! The violent action is simply NOT acceptable!
DeleteWow!??? Who are you ?! I can't believe it... Not one , but two posts justifying violence and actually blaming it on EasyJet. Have you ever flown by commercial airline ?
DeleteAre you his lawyer ? Or perhaps got internet connection in Italian jail.
I didn't know Jeremy Clarkson flew with Easyjet.
ReplyDeleteZbog parceta hleba, kada covek razum izgubi, povredi clana posade, zbog njega se preusmeri avion na drugu destinaciju... Za takvog coveka je potrebna zatvorska bolnica, pa onda sud, pa posle okajavanje svoje ludosti u zatvoru. Posle toga da takav covek ne leti sa avionom. Ni zivotinje da ne upotrebi jer je prek, postupa grubo. Pamet mu se nalazi u saki i pesnici. Moze i bezazlene zivotinje povrediti. Da se javno pokaje, izvine stjuardesi, Easy Jet-u... Da se drzi daleko od javnog saobracaja, a narocito aerodrome i aviona... Neka putuje peske. Dosta vremena ce imati da razmislja o preporodu u dobrotu. Neka se moli Bogu. U Njemu dobrote ima, koju je prekrila bezumnost postupka zbog koje je pao. Moli za oprostaj. Oprostaj od ljud i Boga sledi... Najbolje zelje za postradalu Stjuardesu, Easy Jet, sve ljude koji plove pod plavim nebom. Do mojeg sledeceg leta, iz Srbije, Rodney.

DeleteWe used to pay €300-400 for short flights not that long ago.
ReplyDeleteAnd now that prices are sometimes at 10% of that to even UK or Scandinavia, we still have something to complain about.
I use LCCs. Actually I fly with them a lot. Do they sometimes frustrate me? Almost every time.
BUT, I than remember that I am flying from London to Belgrade for, sometimes, £35-40 RETURN and I shut up.
If you want your food quick and great flight experience, pay €700-800 for business class and you will feel like a king.
What this man did is idiotic.
He should be made an example of by giving him a maximum penalty for his offence. Plus I would fine him a HUGE amount of money to be paid to stewardess's family or, even better, towards her pension fund. Publish everything in in-flight magazines and blacklist him for flying for good few years.
Fully agree!
