A pilot was forced to make an emergency
landing after a row caused by a
passenger who refused to stop farting.
The passenger apparently kept breaking
wind on board a Transavia Airlines flight
from Dubai to Amsterdam Schiphol last
weekend.
The two Dutchmen sitting next to him
didn ’t take very well to his flatulence,
but the unashamed man was apparently
not put off and refused to hold back .
Members of the crew on the Dutch low -
cost airline were apparently less than
sympathetic and refused to do anything
about it .
Despite a warning from the pilot , a fight
between the men then broke out, causing
the flight to be diverted to Vienna
Airport .
Police boarded the plane with dogs and
removed two sisters and the two men
after the pilot made a report about
‘passengers on the rampage.’
The women are now taking the Dutch
budget airline to court after being
removed from the flight, and claim they
have done nothing wrong .
Nora Lacchab, 25 , a law student from
Rotterdam, and her unnamed sister, say
being removed was ‘ humiliating’ are now
seeking to legal action .
The two women, who are of Dutch and
Moroccan descent , were returning to
Amsterdam after a week holidaying in
Dubai . Nora told De Telegraaf: “We had
nothing to do with the whole
disturbance. We distance ourselves from
that .
“ Do they sometimes think that all
Moroccans cause problems? That ’s why
we do not let it sit.
“ We had no idea who these boys were, we
just had the bad luck to be in the same
row and we didn ’t do anything. All I will
say is that the crew were really
provocative and stirred things up .”
All four passengers have since been
released, and were not arrested as they
had not broken an Austrian laws .
However , they have all been banned from
Transavia Airlines , who say that the two
girls were also involved in the fight . In a
statement they said: “ Our crew must
ensure a safe flight . When passengers
pose risks , they immediately intervene .
Our people are trained for that.
“ They know very well where the
boundaries are. Transavia is therefore
square behind the cabin crew and the
pilots. ”
