Disruptive Behavior on Board
Border Guard officers from the Wrocław-Strachowice station were called to the aircraft following reports of aggressive behavior. According to Małgorzata Potoczna of the Nadodrzański Border Guard Unit, the women refused to follow crew orders, disrupted flight order, and engaged in arguments with fellow passengers.
Alcohol-Related Intervention
Authorities noted that the women appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. After being escorted off the plane by officers, testing confirmed that three of the five passengers had been consuming alcohol.
Consequences of Misconduct
The women were issued fines for their behavior. Furthermore, the flight captain made the decision to remove them from the passenger manifest, resulting in them being barred from the flight to Croatia.
Safety Protocols and Authority
The Border Guard emphasized that the flight captain holds final authority regarding passenger safety and the order of the aircraft. Passengers whose behavior threatens flight safety face not only fines but also the risk of being barred from travel and incurring significant additional costs.
