A man has been banned for life from flying with Jet2 after his aggressive behaviour forced a flight to Ibiza to make an unscheduled stop in France.

The passenger was removed from flight LS397 from Belfast by French police after his behaviour led the pilot to land in Toulouse on Friday, a spokeswoman for the airline said.

The flight was forced to make the landing after the man acted aggressively towards staff and passengers.

Jet2 said the “consuming alcohol illicitly” had contributed to the “disgraceful” and “deplorable” behaviour.

Phil Ward, managing director at Jet2.com said, “We will not under any circumstances tolerate this type of disgraceful behaviour onboard our aircraft.

“Fellow customers and families travelling for a well earned holiday should not be subjected to this sort of behaviour and we sincerely apologise to all the other customers on that flight.

“We will be taking further action in support of our crew to ensure the passenger is held accountable for his actions and indeed he has already received a lifetime ban from future Jet2.com flights.”
