In-flight Covid-19 hoax caused ‘pandemonium’ on Aer Lingus flight

A Dutch trainee driving instructor, who caused “pandemonium” on an Aer Lingus flight to Dublin when he made a hoax coronavirus claim, has been given a two-month prison sentence.

Former boat captain and ski instructor, Job van den Broek, 30, with addresses at Parklaan No. 3, 5462cv, and in Veghel, in the Netherlands pleaded guilty today to an air-rage charge after he had delayed Wednesday’s flight EI 605 from Amsterdam because he would not end a phone call.
