‘I’m going to get on this f***ing airplane’ - drunken louts kicked off with Easyjet crew who stopped them boarding
11.08.2022 - 21:53 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Two louts abused airline staff who refused to let them on to a plane because they were too drunk.
Glynn Martin and Jason McKiver, had both been drinking spirits in the lounge at Manchester Airport prior to a flight to Tenerife, on October 15 last year. As they made their way to board an EasyJet plane, airline staff watched them "stumble down the air bridge" and noted that they could "barely stand up", Bolton Magistrate's Court heard.
Prosecuting, Jane Deakin told the court that they were met at the door of the plane by captain David Etchells and cabin crew member Jemma Grieves. After being told that they weren't fit to fly, they insisted that they would just go to sleep in their seat.

When it became apparent that airline staff would not be letting them on, the "situation escalated", Ms Deakin said. Martin got in Ms Grieves' face and shouted: “I know who you are and will remember what you look like.”
Both men then started to "push and prod" Mr Etchells in shoulder, the court heard. He told them to stop touching him and ordered other members of cabin crew to call the police.
Martin, 44, was heard to say: "I don't want to spend another night in clink" and walked back up the air bridge. McKiver, 43, stayed and said: "I’m going to get on this f***ing airplane, you aren’t going to stop me going anywhere," before trying to push past Mr Etchells to get to his seat.
Mr Etchells tried to calm McKiver down and asked to see his boarding pass. It was at this point that he realised he had left his bag on the air bridge and he left the plane to get it.
Mr Etchells then asked crew to pull the barrier back across to stop him
