Passenger terrified as ‘drunk' rowdy flyers turn Ibiza plane into ‘mid-air nightclub'

Passenger terrified as ‘drunk' rowdy flyers turn Ibiza plane into ‘mid-air nightclub'

News.com.au20-05-2025
An easyJet passenger was left petrified after a group of rowdy 'drunk' British flyers turned her Ibiza flight into a 'nightclub'.
Furious Spaniard Erika Barrachina claimed she suffered a 'panic attack' after having to cope with 'scum' passengers.
The Ibiza resident blasted that these type of tourists should never have been allowed to board the plane in the first place.
Shocking footage showed a packed plane with passengers appearing to bang on luggage compartments and yell: 'Come on Ibiza!'
Multiple travellers appeared to be waving their arms and legs around while sat during the loud journey.
And some who seemingly found the whole situation hilarious decided to record the noisy chanting.
The Spanish local said that her 'flight from London to Ibiza was absolutely horrible'.
The passenger said she was 'scared' while travelling on the jet 'full of real English animals'.
'Everyone standing, screaming, guys hitting each other, drinking bottles of alcohol one after the other and stopping the flight attendants from doing their job,' she added.
The appalled passenger called her experience: 'Real hell.'
She said of the footage which she managed to record: 'This video is the just the end because I couldn't film what happened during the journey.'
Barrachina also claimed that Brit passengers were drunk and high before boarding.
She continued: 'Taking pills and drinking alcohol at the same time, which I saw with my own eyes.
'It was a really wild 2.5 hour flight.'
The Spanish passenger raged: 'This shouldn't be allowed. They shouldn't let scum like this get on a plane or sell alcohol on board.
'We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home.'
She branded the uncontrollable Brits 'wild animals'.
The Ibiza resident also told a local Ibizan newspaper: 'I'm not afraid of flying because I've flown around the world but I had a panic attack because it was like being in a pub, in a nightclub, but in the air.'
She claimed that multiple air stewards asked some of the passengers for their documentation, only to be told: 'F**k off.'
The 'wild' passengers were let off the plane after reaching Ibiza airport and identifying themselves.
EasyJet told The Sun: 'We can confirm that flight EZY2307 from Luton to Ibiza on May 16 was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving in a disruptive manner.
'The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority.
'Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard.'
Barrachina posted the footage on Saturday – one day before thousands of people marched in Canary Islands capitals as part of a new anti-mass tourism protest.
Locals in the Balearic Islands, which include Ibiza, are due to stage their protest on June 15.

British jazz singer Cleo Laine dead at 97

British jazz singer Cleo Laine, who performed with musical greats including Frank Sinatra and starred as an actress in London's West End and on Broadway, has died aged 97. Her death was announced on Friday in a statement from her children Jacqui and Alec. Born to an English mother and a Jamaican father in a suburb of London in 1927, she initially worked as a hair-dresser, a hat-trimmer and a librarian. She married in 1946 and had a son while still a teenager. Driven on by her dream of becoming a singer, she divorced and got her big break in 1951, when she joined the band of English saxophonist and clarinettist John Dankworth at 24. Dankworth's band decided her name was too long - at the time she thought she had been born Clementine Campbell, though a passport application later revealed her mother had used her own surname Hitching on the birth certificate. The men of the Dankworth Seven band thought her name was too cumbersome for a poster, and that her nickname Clem was too cowboy-like. They settled on a new stage persona for her by drawing "Cleo" and "Laine" from hats. In 1958, she and Dankworth married. Their home became a magnet for London's jazz set: friends included stars from across the Atlantic such as Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald, Lester Young and Dizzy Gillespie. After acting as well as singing in Britain through the 1960s, Laine toured Australia in 1972 and performed at New York's Lincoln Centre. The recording of a further show, at Carnegie Hall, won her a Grammy. Recordings included Porgy and Bess with Ray Charles. In 1992 she appeared with Frank Sinatra for a series of shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London, but she was best known for her work with Dankworth's bands. He later became her musical director. The couple built their own auditorium in the grounds of their home near London and were friends with Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II. Their two children went on to become musicians. Dankworth - who Laine described as being "joined at the hip" with her - died in 2010. Hours after his death, Laine performed a scheduled show in their auditorium, announcing the news about her husband only at the end of the concert.

Donald Trump news: US President speaks as he arrives in Scotland to open new golf course, discuss trade

US President Donald Trump has arrived in Scotland as his family's business prepares for the upcoming opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire billed as 'the greatest 36 holes in golf'. Air Force One - the presidential plane - touched down at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire on Friday just before 8.30pm (local time). Mr Trump was met by Scottish Secretary Ian Murray as he disembarked, before heading to the waiting presidential helicopter Marine One, bound for his nearby Turnberry golf course. His presence is expected to spark protests across the country, with Scottish Police being forced to request aid from other forces to help increase manpower for the trip. Mr Trump is set to spend time at his golf resort in Turnberry on Scotland's west coast, before heading to his sprawling golf property 320 kilometres away near Aberdeen in the east. But it won't be all play and no work. He will meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen who both want to talk about trade. Mr Trump said Washington was also working hard on a possible trade deal with the EU, which he said was very keen to make a deal. EU diplomats say a deal could result in a broad 15 per cent tariff on EU goods, mirroring a framework agreement with Japan and half of the 30 per cent tariff Trump is threatening to impose by August 1. Speaking to reporters on the tarmac, Mr Trump said he'd be with his son and 'he's gonna cut a ribbon' for the second Trump golf course opening soon near Aberdeen. Eric Trump, who now helps run the Trump Organisation, previously joined his father for the groundbreaking in 2023. Although Eric did not travel with Donald on Air Force One, a Trump private plane was seen landing near Glasgow earlier in the day. Mr Trump also used the opportunity to send a blunt message to Europe, saying, 'This immigration is killing Europe. And the other thing, stop the windmills.' He added: 'Wind power generation is killing the beauty of your country.' His opposition to wind farms is longstanding, including previous legal efforts to protect views from his golf courses in Scotland. On immigration, Mr Trump warned, 'On immigration, you better get your act together. You're not going to have Europe anymore.' He contrasted this with his administration's tough US-Mexico border policies, suggesting Europe needs to act decisively on immigration controls. As part of the visit, he will open a second 18-hole course on the Aberdeen property named in honour of his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born and raised on a Scottish island before emigrating to America. The White House has described the trip as 'private'. Mr Trump's visit to Scotland is in the 'public interest', UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves insisted, pointing out a recent trade deal. 'That has a tangible benefit for people here in Scotland, whether it is people working in the Scotch whisky industry or people working in the defence sector, like here at Rolls-Royce, that trade deal means lower tariffs than any country in the world on things that we send to the US,' she said. While in the UK, he will also meet Scotland's First Minister John Swinney, who had publicly backed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election. 'The Scottish leader is a good man, so I look forward to meeting him,' Mr Trump said. Swinney flagged in an interview with PA that he intended to raise 'the awfulness of the situation in Gaza and the unbearable human suffering' with Trump. 'I intend to take that opportunity to make sure that Scotland's voice is heard,' he said. The trip shows how the president has become increasingly comfortable intermingling his governing pursuits with promoting his family's business interests. Mr Trump has described Scotland as a 'very special place' and made a similar trip there in 2016 during his first run for the presidency, but he will not necessarily get a warm welcome. About 70 per cent of Scots have an unfavourable opinion of Trump, while 18 per cent have a favourable opinion, an Ipsos poll in March found. His visit requires a major police operation that will cost Scottish taxpayers millions of pounds as protests are planned over the weekend. The union representing officers is concerned that they are already overworked and will be diverted from their normal duties. The overseas travel comes as Trump faces the biggest domestic political crisis of his second term in office. Allies and opponents alike have criticised his administration's handling of investigative files related to disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's criminal charges and the circumstances of his 2019 death in prison. The issue has caused a rare breach with some of Trump's most loyal Make America Great Again supporters, and majorities of Americans and Trump's Republicans say they believe the government is hiding details on the case, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling. White House officials, frustrated by the ongoing focus on the Epstein saga, are hoping the controversy dies down while Trump is abroad, one person familiar with the matter said. with PA and Reuters
