Stag yobs spark plane and airport chaos as boozed-up Brits start long weekend off with very public displays of heavy drinking

STAG party yobs sparked airport chaos with armed police called to one flight and drunks hurled off another for chucking a shoe at the pilot.

Boozed-up revellers also caused mayhem in town centres as the four-day Easter break kicked off.

Airline trouble started early on Good Friday morning when police were called at 7.15 to break up a party featuring a groom dressed as an X-rated superhero.

A group of around 30 lads had been queuing on the tarmac waiting to board a Ryanair flight at Stansted in Essex when one lobbed his shoe at the jet.

It struck the cockpit window where the captain was sitting ready to fly the plane to Valencia.

All got on board but ground crew called the police who arrived and escorted two men off.

A couple more marched off to plead for their friends’ return, but all four were then banned from going back on the flight which eventually took off an hour late to Spain.

Other passengers were livid that most of the party were allowed to stay on, including the groom dressed as an X-rated superhero called Willyman.

An onlooker said: “Obviously they had a few beers and threw the shoe at the window and the captain saw it.

“The groom was in fancy dress as well, wearing a Willyman outfit.

“It was basically a Superman costume but with a fake penis dangling down between his legs. I don’t think that went down well either. We were delayed by about an hour.

“Everyone was furious, which made for a very uncomfortable flight.”

A few hours later armed police had to be called in over another stag party disturbance, this time on a Jet2 flight about to take off from Manchester.

Some 23 blokes were escorted off the plane for causing damage and swearing before it set off for Prague, Czech Republic.

Passengers were delayed while the yobs’ luggage was removed from the hold.

Lauren Sian posted a photo of an armed officer talking to staff on the plane due to leave at 3.15pm but still on the tarmac three hours later.

She tweeted: “Stag party removed by police from Jet2 plane for damaging property, swearing and being disruptive.”

The pilot is said to have told passengers over the PA system: “I have a zero tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour towards the cabin crew.”

Another passenger, digital marketer Ailsa Iworth, said: “Stuck on the tarmac as some idiot stags and their luggage are removed. Don’t envy the Jet2 staff at times like this.

“Lovely staff handing out water and staying smiling and friendly whilst the police remove the misbehaving stags!”

The night before saw more boozy behaviour on streets around the country as the weekend started.

One woman was pictured slumped against a building as she urinated while checking her phone in the North West.

Airlines last night insisted they had a no-nonsense policy for badly behaved passengers.

A spokesman for Ryanair said: “Ground staff at London Stansted Airport requested police assistance ahead of a flight to Valencia.

";A number of passengers became disruptive during boarding and were offloaded before the aircraft departed.
