Two brothers are facing a £50,000 bill and have been banned for life from any Jet2 flight. The travel giant claimed their violent behaviour on board a flight to Crete caused the plane to have to be diverted.
This meant over 200 passengers were left stranded in Crete for an extra day as the plane couldn't make the return flight from the Greek island back to London on the same day. Jet2 said it was left needing to put passengers up in hotels due to exceeding their operating hours due to the diversion.
The airline said Alfie and Kenneth Springthorpe displayed "unacceptable levels of aggression and even physical violence" on their flight from London Stanstead to Crete, reported The Mirror. The crew was forced to head to Corfu so the pair from Sidcup, South East London, could be offloaded.
