Passengers applauded and cheered as police officers removed a woman who was allegedly drunk and began arguing with the crew on a flight from London to Hurghada, Egypt.

The filmer told Newsflare: "On March 12, 2025, I flew from London to Hurghada on Wizz Air flight W95777. Around 5 PM London time, a drunk woman, approximately 50 years old, sitting two rows behind me, got heavily intoxicated and started arguing with the crew. They tried to calm her down a couple of times, but she did not respond and began harassing and verbally threatening the flight attendants.

"Throughout this time, even the pilot made an announcement over the microphone, apologising to the passengers and asking the woman to calm down; otherwise, we would have to land the plane. Naturally, she did not calm down, and about 10 minutes after the pilot’s announcement, he made another one, informing us that we would have to land in Athens, Greece, for an emergency landing. He also mentioned that no one would be allowed to leave the plane during this time.

"We stayed in Athens for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, after which the pilot informed us that we would need another 40 minutes to refuel before taking off again. However, as soon as we landed, Greek police officers entered the plane. I recorded the moment on my phone as they escorted the woman off of the aircraft.

"Honestly, this was the first time I had experienced such a situation, and during the first 20 minutes of her rampage, I felt a bit uneasy because I saw no way out—after all, there was no police officer on board. But the safety measures taken by the airline reassured me. It became clear to me once again that the most important thing for an airline is the safety of its passengers, including their emotional well-being—I really appreciated that.

"Three police officers came in and escorted her off the plane. However, one officer returned and spent about 40 minutes questioning a flight attendant (a man, approximately 28 years old) about what had happened. The flight attendant and the officer also went back to the woman’s seat to document evidence of the incident.

"The passengers were very happy and applauded when the woman left the plane, and their joy is clearly visible in the video. Of course, we arrived in Hurghada about 2 hours and 30 minutes later than scheduled."

According to reports, the woman is facing a £15,000 fine for antisocial behaviour.
