EasyJet flight calls for emergency services reporting drunk passenger with knife onboard The incident took place on board flight U23970 as the Airbus A321neo made its way from Keflavík International Airport in Iceland to Milan Malpensa Airport in Italy An easyJet flight was met by emergency services on landing after reports of an intoxicated passenger carrying a knife. The incident took place on board flight U23970 as the Airbus A321neo made its way from Keflavík International Airport near Reykjavík, Iceland, to Milan Malpensa Airport in Italy. But as the aircraft made its final approach into Milan, onboard crew were forced to alert air traffic control. The report stated a "Level 1" passenger disturbance, Air Live reports, which covers minor to moderate verbal or behavioural disruption. This includes using abusive language, shouting, failing to follow instructions, smoking or vaping and disruptive behaviour caused by alcohol or drug consumption. Air Live states that, according to flight deck reports, the individual was "visibly intoxicated", shouting and in possession of a standard eating knife. The passenger in question reportedly didn't attempt to use the utensil in an aggressive manner. However, its presence raised immediate safety concerns for the flight crew and nearby passengers. Despite the disturbance, which occurred on a flight on November 5, the aircraft landed on time in Milan following a four-hour flight. Authorities were reportedly waiting at Terminal 2 to handle the situation. No injuries were reported. Mirror Online has approached easyJet for comment.
