Another flight lands in Tenerife with conflicting passengers on board

The easyJet plane came from Luton, one of London’s airports

The Tenerife Sur airport has once again received a flight with “conflicting” passengers on board. According to air traffic controllers through their social networks, the plane came from England, specifically from the town of Luton.

easyJet flight U22303 from London Luton to Tenerife South (Airbus A320neo registered G-UZHF)  requested priority landing at the destination because of unruly passengers on board.

The presence of three conflicting passengers led the pilots to request support from the control tower, so it was decided to cut the approach and landing manoeuvre and to call for the presence of security forces on the runway.

This is the fifth flight that requires help upon arrival at Tenerife South due to similar situations in just a few days. The most relevant occurred on 26 April and resulted in the arrest of two passengers on a flight from Manchester for causing incidents during the journey.

A few days later, two flights also reported problems: on one of them a single man made trouble and on the other, up to seven showed signs of drunkenness. Both landed on the island just a few minutes apart.

  1. Why were they allowed on the plane drunk surely you can tell if passengers are drunk boarding the flight

  2. I can’t understand why they let these people on the plane and don’t sell alcohol on board if caught drinking then they should be met by police and charged is for my safety and other passengers it a disgrace these British pasanger are shamming our country

  3. If it was down to me they would be escorted to the prison. And released on their return date to the airport for their return flight then their passport cancelled

  4. Back in the day we used to have two or three drinks. Nodody got steaming drunk as they seem to nowadays, there was never any trouble. I don’t know what is wrong with some people nowadays. God knows what it’ll be like in twenty years time.

  5. Across the board have extra staff at the boarding gate to observe and pick out those suspected of being under the influence of drink. Introduce a mandatory requirement to provide a satisfactory breath test before boarding. Over the limit excludes whoever from the flight and but allowed to fly out on a much later flight (at their cost)

  6. Breathalyzer upon arriving at the gate with a reasonable limit a bit higher than that allowed for driving. Would stop all problems immediately but cut down the profits of the airport bars. Maybe that’s why it’s not done.

  7. Agree with all the comments being made.

    People who get drunk on board like that and create a nuisance to other passengers as well as potentially putting lives in danger, should be met by police on arrival kept in custody until charged then returned to the UK with their passports confiscated for the next 5 years, .

  8. Cancel their passports to stop them travelling, then they can stay home and get drunk

  9. It’s way past time to stop all alcohol in airports and aircraft……? Are the aviation authorities going to wait until there is a mass loss of life due to alcohol abuse by mindless morons……

  10. Oh no not again how embarrassing!!! I agree all comments above but of course it’s going to take longer to get through customs & who is going to cover the cost of a breathalyser. I think security need to be more observant of passengers demeanour & if suspected of being inebriated the passenger needs to be breathalysed at their expense & not allowed to fly until the next day & if seat available if over a sensible limit. Whilst on board alcohol should also be limited per passenger. On our flight a group of women kept pressing the bell for more drinks & def consumed quite a bit albeit they were a bit loud they were fine.

  11. The consequences aren’t severe enough to deter unruly passengers. They should be immediately banned from flying with all airlines and forced to return to their country of origin by land, and sea if necessary. That should give them time to think about what they’ve done and if they should attend an AA meeting.

  12. Most people go on holiday to relax and enjoy oneselves but there are allways idiots who ruin things. People like this should also be refused near future flights.

  13. When you have people taking photos at 5am of a pint because it the first “holiday pint” then you know there is gonna be problems.
    The problem we have with certain Brits is that they think they are immune to laws once.on holidays abroad. I have seen many a Brit screaming “you can’t do that” to Spanish Police while getting battered with a good old truncheon.. and the Spanish Police answering “this is not the UK”
    Need more of it In the UK..

  14. This is an international problem not just British.Alcohol will not be banned from airports or planes as too much profit is made.
    There should be more severe punishment for these offences internationally and widely published for the sake of safety.Prohibiting flying for set periods would be a start with cash bonds being set for future flights.

  15. Hi my granddaughter is cabin crew for easy jet her salary is made up with commission need I say more

  16. Stop selling alcohol, in the lounge and also on the plane. Also if they are drunk call police in spain lock them up on landing and on return flight passport gets cancelled for 10yr

  17. Come to an arrangement with Mr.Putin for a Penal Colony to be established in N.E. Siberia.
    A minimum of 10 years.
    That would solve the problem.
    It’s not just a British problem.

  18. So disgusting, they give all UK travellers a bad name. Can’t understand why they have to get tanked up on beer etc before early flights. If the bars didn’t open so early in the airports it would help. Can see airlines being stopped from selling alcohol on board if this behaviour continues.

  19. Make them pay for a breathalysers check And only one drink on plane.
    They are a danger to all passengers and crew.
    Smoking was banned drinking can be too.
    Safety comes first if you dont like the rules go by boat at least they can throw you overboard without disrupting other people on holiday.

  20. You wonder why people are like this? Everything fun requires a license or has been banned. Soon there will be nothing for anyone to do unless you’re super wealthy. Can’t even own a fucking dog in peace. Yes some people get rowdy now and again, by the logic of the posts here you morons want robots not humans. Whilst I agree it can be a pain, you have to get it into you’re thick heads, the whole world were imprisoned by their own governments for 2+ years with no end in sight while we watched the elites live like normal. You think this is bad, let’s chat in 10 years when all this comes to a head.
