TUI flight delayed by three hours after disruptive stag do forced off plane - and passengers made to re-board

A flight to Bulgaria departed three hours later than planned after a disruptive stag do reportedly swore and wolf-whistled at cabin crew before refusing to get off the plane.

The TUI flight was due to hit the runway at Cardiff Airport at 1.45pm on Thursday, June 23 but didn't take off until around 4.30pm. Passengers preparing for the four-hour flight booed the seven revellers while others watched on in horror as the group reportedly began swearing and wolf-whistling at cabin crew after they were told they couldn’t drink alcohol while on board the four-hour flight.

When the group reacted angrily to the crew, passengers explained how security was called on board minutes before the flight was due to depart. Five of the group, including one who was dressed in a pilot costume, then agreed to get off the plane but two others continued being abusive and said they wouldn’t be getting off.
