Drunk Traveller Tries to Open Plane Door Mid-Flight from Gatwick

A British tourist was arrested at Alicante-Elche airport on Thursday after attempting to open a cabin door during an easyJet flight from Gatwick. The 28-year-old man, identified as Luke A., had to be restrained after repeatedly compromising flight safety.

The incident began when the male boarded the plane already intoxicated. Reports indicate that the high altitude exacerbated his condition, leading to increasingly erratic behaviour. Passengers described a series of escalating disruptions, starting with verbal insults and provocations directed at fellow travellers.
