What's going on with Brits in flight? For the second time this month British passengers tried to open a cabin door in mid flight. this time around it was two women aged 26 and 27 who wanted some fresh air.
The two women had been drinking during the flight when they decided that they needed a bit of fresh air. That little stunt forced a quick landing in Frankfurt, Germany to rid the plane of the two.
It is suspected that the ladies brought their own party mix on board. They are also thought to have been smoking in the loo, a serious airline no-no.
When the staff of the XL Airways plane refused to sell them additional alcohol they were abusive according to a
BBC News report.
"Their language was totally unacceptable, as was their behaviour. They were very abusive and threatening," the spokeswoman said.
"We won't tolerate this sort of behaviour. The cabin crew did an excellent job and were very professional."
The 26-year-old is also accused of attempting to strike a flight attendant with a vodka bottle.
The captain decided after the pair attempted to open the door over Austria to get them off of his plane as soon as possible. Security on board kept the two in their seats until the unscheduled stop in Frankfurt.
The two woman are now facing a slew of charges of grievous bodily harm and violating air traffic regulations.
After the quick two hour stop and drop of the two the plane completed the schedule flight to Manchester. The flight had originated from the Greek island of Kos.
The women were questioned by the German police and released. They were allowed to return to the UK.
The XL Airlines are considering legal action against the party girls.
Earlier this
month a passenger on a First Choice Boeing 767 plane to Cuba forced an unscheduled landing in Bermuda when he tried to open the doors during a flight.
