Drunk Passenger Arrested After Disruptive Behavior on Morocco-Bound Flight

After the landing of the "Thomas Cook" plane at Marrakech Airport last January, Muhamed Azam was arrested. On vacation with a group of friends, he had started shouting on the plane: "I’m a pharmacist, I work hard to earn a living. You can’t tell the f*cking king what to do," reports The men.

The Court said that Azam had also mistreated the aircraft’s captain, kicked a passenger’s seat and claimed that the glass of orange juice he was served was sweetened.

"I have 27 years of experience as a flight attendant, where I have faced a number of problems on board, but this individual was one of the worst," said Donna Bayley Jones, a flight attendant.

For her, one of the catalysts for the pharmacist’s behavior was clearly the drink. "Acting like that at 37,000 feet. People are generally nervous when they fly [...]. We shouldn’t have to tolerate this kind of behavior," she added.

Azam admitted the facts against him. And the Royal Court of Manchester sentenced him to six months in prison.
