Dispute in Italy plane escalates: pilot simply turns around
The argument erupted, according to the report, because of the vacationer’s two children (aged two and four) who refused to buckle up and were therefore extremely restless and “lively”. A flight attendant then asked the mother to get her children to sit down and buckle up. Then a “violent argument” is said to have broken out. At the end of the scandal, the passenger is said to have thrown her smartphone at the flight attendant. The passenger later denied this.
When she landed in Sardinia, the woman was received by border police. They then recorded the different versions of what had happened. Some witnesses were also heard. In the investigation, the police officers have to be loud ansa now also determine whether the passenger is guilty of the “crime of disrupting public service”. If so, you could face up to a year in prison.
Dispute in Italy plane: Airline is already reacting
Volotea, meanwhile, has already put the family on the company’s list of “unruly passengers,” it said. This allows the woman to continue flying with the airline, but warns onboard staff that a potentially problematic passenger is about to board.
Because of rude tourists, even the Italian Minister of Tourism had recently intervened.
