Two brothers have been hit with a £50,000 bill and a lifetime ban from flying with Jet2 after their violent behaviour caused a flight to be diverted.
Alfie and Kenneth Springthorpe displayed "unacceptable levels of aggression and even physical violence" on their holiday flight from London Stansted to Crete. Because of their actions, the crew had no choice but to divert the plane to Corfu so the brothers, from Kent, could be offloaded.
Other passengers experienced a delay of almost four hours before the flight continued safely to Heraklion Airport, Essex Live reports. Because of the huge delay the air crew ran out of operating hours meaning that they were unable to operate the return flight from Crete.
