Bristol Airport flight axed over 'disruptive' passengers
A Bristol-to-Prague EasyJet flight with more than 140 on board was delayed and eventually cancelled Friday night. Avon and Somerset Police said a 32-year-old man was arrested for a public order offence and released under investigation. EasyJet said it did not tolerate abusive behaviour and will "always push for prosecution". A Bristol Airport spokesperson said the "disappointing behaviour of a few" had ruined a flight "not just for their mates but for the 140 plus whose flight was cancelled as a result of their follow-up actions". They added: "It's an aircraft, not a nightclub." EasyJet said its crew had done "everything possible to minimise the disruption" for its remaining passengers. Travel journalist Simon Calder said the "culture of drinking at airports" has to be tackled. <br/>
