A Swiss passenger threatened a terrorist attack last summer.
The passengers from Zurich to Gothenburg (Sweden) must have imagined this flight differently last August. Even before the plane took off, a Swedish passenger (38) completely freaked out in the Swiss plane.
As the “NZZ” reports, he first hit a woman, spat in her face and insulted her as a slut. A second person also received a slap in the face. When the cabin manager then asks the Swede out of the plane, the mob kicks him in the legs from behind.
penalties and fines
According to the prosecutor’s order, he then shouted in English across the cabin: “I’m a terrorist” and “You’re all going to die”. As he is being taken off the plane, he slightly injures a flight attendant. The Swedish tourist will be behind bars for two days.
In the meantime, the Swedish tourist has been sentenced by the public prosecutor’s office to a conditional fine of 120 daily rates of CHF 30 each. The probationary period is two years. He has to pay a fine of CHF 1,500 and the costs of the proceedings of CHF 800.
Flight ban also possible
Swiss does not want to say how often such incidents occur. However, the number of unruly passengers in relation to the number of passengers transported is increasing, the airline reports. The main reason in the past two years was the non-compliance with the Covid 19 measures.
In particularly blatant cases, Swiss will file a complaint. In addition, one can also arrange for a person to no longer be able to fly with Swiss for a certain period of time. All incidents would be processed in cooperation with the responsible authorities, such as the police or the Federal Office for Civil Aviation. (zis)
