Airline removes 41 passengers from plane for being unruly, aggressive

Officials of Brussels airline did the unusual when they removed no less than 41 passengers because they were being “unruly” and “aggressive” toward members of the crew.

According to a spokeswoman for the airline, Kim Daenen, the passengers were removed from the plane before it took off from Brussels on Saturday as some of them “had been drinking,” en route to Alicante, Spain.

“During taxing, there were a few passengers who were being unruly and also aggressive toward our crew,” Daenen said.

All of the passengers were part of the same group, which had all been booked together on the flight, SN3771, she said.

“The captain asked for them to stay calm,” but they didn’t listen, she said.

So before taking off, she said, “the captain decided to go back to the gate. … We had to think of the comfort of the other passengers by removing them from the flight.”
