Flight From Hell Turns Back After 'Mass Brawl' Between Screaming Passengers

A flight from the Moroccan resort destination of Agadir, destined for London , was forced to land prematurely after a massive brawl broke out among the passengers.

Knewz.com has learned that the altercation started while passengers were boarding and a man in his late 20s asked a woman to swap seats so that he could sit closer to his family .

The woman refused as she was already seated next to her daughter and the incident seemed to abate.

When the aircraft was in the air and the seatbelt signs were turned off, said man allegedly started threatening the woman whose husband then got involved.

The altercation became physical and the men started throwing punches. It soon escalated into what resembled free-for-all as numerous parties got involved.

An unnamed British witness who was on board gave their account of the incident, saying:

“They were trying to punch each other. One of the families was part of a larger group so other passengers started to join in.”

“Then a lady in the row behind started to have a panic attack because of everything going on. She was screaming and there were kids crying. It was like a snowball effect.”

Another 36-year-old passenger weighed in: “We were only in the air for 36 minutes before we had to do an unexpected landing. It was so stressful.”

“It was like a flight from hell. And it all escalated from that one passenger wanting to change seats.”

The cabin crew tried to intervene but to no avail, forcing the Ryan Air flight RUK3034 to terminate its journey 36 minutes and 127 miles later in Marrakech (also in Morocco).

Police met the aircraft and escorted nine individuals off the plane. But this was not the end of the debacle.

While the scuffle was in full swing, another passenger became ill and was administered oxygen.

When the aircraft landed, medics came on board but soon established that he was unfit to fly and requested him to leave the flight.

Said ailing person would have none of it and rebelled vociferously.

Footage captures the individual saying:

“They think I’m a terrorist. That’s why they’re bringing the whole army here to take me down.”

“Give me my f****** bag. I will whack your jaw bruv.”

At this point, the crew had reached their maximum flying time and the airline canceled the flight. The remaining passengers were booked into hotels and scheduled for a flight the next morning.

This flight was also canceled. According to The Sun which first caught the story, when the crew eventually returned and boarded the flight that would finally bring the passengers to their destination in Stansted, London—they were met by a jeering crowd.

Ryan Air has since weighed in on the matter apologizing for the double delay and blaming it on disruptive passengers.

“As it took almost two hours in total to treat and offload these disruptive passengers, during which time the rest of the passengers remained onboard, the crew reached their permitted flying hours, and caused the flight to be delayed overnight,” the airline’s statement noted.
