A passenger spots a Stella Artois 33cl in the cockpit

Share

After landing from a flight at Birmingham airport a Jet2.com passenger spotted a can of Stella Artois in the cockpit, nicely served on a napkin. According to several British media the passenger was “shocked” and couldn’t understand why there was Belgian beer in the cockpit.

A Jet2 statement quickly silenced any rumours: “Upon further investigation of the photograph, we can confirm that it is an unopened can which had been handed to a member of our cabin crew by a customer when they were leaving the aircraft, this unopened can was then put down in the cockpit by the member of cabin crew, so that she could continue helping customers as they disembarked.”

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
