Second Jet2 Ibiza flight diverted due to stag party misbehaviour

YET another Jet2 flight to Spain has had to be diverted due to rowdy stag party passengers – the second in two weeks.
This time, the flight had set off from Birmingham with a group of 27 young men on board who became aggressive and displayed 'appalling behaviour', according to the airline.
Reports released today say one of the group had been denied boarding on the Friday flight to Ibiza because of his drunken, unseemly and confrontational attitude, and cabin crew refused to sell alcohol on the flight to any passenger as a precaution.
Midway through the journey to the Balearic party island, the crew opted to land in the nearest airport, Toulouse (south-western France) and order the men to get off.
One of them is said to have been banned from flying with Jet2 for life.
Air stewards said they gave the stag group numerous warnings about their behaviour before making the drastic decision to land and disembark them – an option carriers do not take up lightly due to extra costs and delays involved – but deemed it essential 'in the interests of everyone's comfort and safety'.
