Passengers escorted off Jetstar flight JQ33 to Sydney after 'mid-air fight'
Two passengers have been escorted off a flight and could be banned from flying with Jetstar in the future after a mid-air "incident" where they had to be separated by the crew. The incident occurred on flight JQ33, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner which left the Thai city of Phuket early on Wednesday and arrived in Sydney in the afternoon. Scott Haywood, a passenger on the flight, said the dispute began when one passenger "fully reclined" her seat and a passenger behind her took offence. A spokesman for Jetstar confirmed the incident and said cabin crew contacted Australian Federal Police (AFP), who met the flight when it landed in Sydney about 2pm. "Our crew onboard acted quickly and the customers were separated for the remainder of the flight," the spokesman said. "We don't tolerate disruptive behaviour by passengers on our flights. We will conduct a review with a view to banning these passengers travelling with us in the future."<br/>
