Passengers terrified by ’intoxicated and out-of-control’ flight crew

Passengers had been expecting a relaxed, uneventful transatlantic flight, but what they got was several hours ‘terrified at the hands of an intoxicated and out-of-control flight crew’, reports Conall Ó Fátharta.

PASSENGERS boarding an Aer Lingus transatlantic flight in August 2012 were expecting a relaxed, uneventful journey.

However, what transpired was a remarkable set of events which left passengers feeling threatened — not by other passengers but by “an intoxicated and out-of-control flight crew”.
