Drunk passenger allegedly necked an entire bottle of vodka before threatening to murder his kids
Man also said to have abused his girlfriend and cabin crew before his arrest in Corfu
A BOOZED-UP easyJet passenger allegedly threatened to murder his girlfriend and his own children on a "nightmare" flight for other passengers.
He is also accused of threatening the pilot and cabin crew on the plane after necking a bottle of vodka.
He was detained by cops on the Greek island of Corfu after flying there from Manchester on June 7.
When the easyJet plane was turned around to fly back to the UK the same day, the pilot told passengers what he had just experienced.
He said: “We have had a nightmare. The man threatened our cabin crew, me and passengers, and then threatened to kill his girlfriend and children who were on the flight with him.”
The flight was delayed for more than two hours while the pilot gave statements to Greek police.

A spokesman for the airline said: “EasyJet can confirm that flight EZY1977 from Manchester to Corfu on June 7 was met by the police on arrival in Corfu as a result of a passenger on board behaving in a disruptive manner.
“EasyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.
A witness said: “The captain said the passenger had drunk an entire bottle of vodka. He was not drinking the little bottles served by the cabin crew, he was drinking his own.
"The pilot was very good. He explained to all the passengers waiting in Corfu the reasons why their flight was delayed.
“You have to feel sorry for the crew, it must have been a terrible experience for them.”
