Swiss flight makes emergency landing in Stuttgart after passenger gets angry over champagne refusal

Share

Sunday’s Swiss flight LX1327 from Moscow DME to Zurich was forced to make an unexpected landing in Stuttgart after one of the business class passengers was denied another glass of champagne. The lady psychically attacked one of the flight attendants. As a precaution, the pilots landed the Airbus A320 (HB-JLT) at the German airport, German Reutlingen police reported on Sunday.

The 44-year old Swiss passenger got a €5,000 fine. It is unknown if the passenger will have to pay for all additional costs of making the unexpected landing. 45 minutes later the flight continued to Zurich, yet without the passenger.

The German police stressed that the 43 other passengers were never in danger.

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.
