At Bremen Airport, a drunken and aggressive passenger prevented a plane from taking off to Mallorca on Sunday evening. Due to the 53-year-old's threatening behavior, the pilot aborted takeoff and returned to the starting position. According to the Federal Police, the man was subsequently barred from the flight and taken to the airport security guard by officers.
The man's wife also voluntarily decided not to board the flight and accompanied her husband. Administrative offense proceedings under the Aviation Security Act were initiated against the 53-year-old. The passenger's exact blood alcohol level was not disclosed.
According to the Federal Police, the man repeatedly ignored the crew's safety instructions and behaved verbally aggressively and threateningly. The incident led to a delay of approximately 45 minutes in the flight's departure. The remaining passengers were eventually able to continue their journey.
In addition to a fine, the man faces further financial consequences. The airline could assert claims for damages for the delay caused. The exact amount of any potential claims is not yet known.
