More like “spirits” airlines?
Unruly passengers wreaked havoc on a Wizz Air flight after allegedly getting drunk on their own alcohol, 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.
Wizz Air prohibits people from drinking their own booze.
In the appalling footage, captured by passenger James Burrows, a seemingly intoxicated woman wanders the aisles swearing at other flyers as crew members try to calm her.
At one point, the allegedly inebriated flyer and another mile-high hellion are seen guzzling large cans of beer, which they reportedly brought from home — clearly not exercising “booze control.”
“For safety purposes, passengers are prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages not purchased on the aircraft,” the rep 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.
