Passenger on Jet2 flight arrested on landing for assaulting his partner
A passenger travelling on a flight from the UK to Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport was detained by the Guardia Civil on arrival yesterday (Monday), for allegedly assaulting his partner on the plane.
The incident occurred on board Jet2 flight LS265 from Leeds Bradford, when the crew reported to the pilot that a 61-year-old passenger had allegedly assaulted a woman who was travelling with him.
Activating the protocol for this situation, the pilot contacted air traffic control to report the ‘problematic’ passenger and the Guardia Civil were waiting when the flight landed in Malaga to board the plane and detain the man in question.
The male passenger, from Manchester, was taken into custody by the Guardia Civil and has already been made available to the Domestic Violence Court No 1 in Malaga, for a ‘fast’ trial. If found guilty he faces a fine, possibly a prison sentence, and a flight ban by the airline.
