Two brothers from London disrupted a Jet2 flight from their home city to Crete, Greece last month when they got intoxicated on the flight and reportedly got in multiple fights with each other. One of the men allegedly “urinated on his brother,” and is seen being escorted out of the plane by Greek police in a video with his pants around his legs.

Alfie and Kenneth Springthorpe were the fighters in question. The flight had to make a temporary landing in Corfu to kick both of the brothers off, delaying the flight by almost four hours. A flight attendant allegedly found two bottles of Ciroc Vodka under the Springthorpe brothers’ seats, with only half a bottle of liquor remaining

Jet2 responded to the incident soon after it occurred on May 2 by announcing they “issued a bill for more than £50,000 to a pair of disruptive brothers, alongside a lifetime ban, after their aggressive and violent behavior led to a flight having to be diverted last week.”

More details about this strange incident were suddenly revealed in June when someone on the flight uploaded footage of the events to TikTok, and also spoke about their recollection of the events. They mentioned that the brothers were accompanied by their likely embarrassed mom, and had already received a warning from a flight attendant for making an inappropriate comment about her lips.

“About two and a half hours into the flight I was waiting to go to the toilet and the older brother stood up but was so drunk he couldn’t stand, he needed the loo but in his drunken state peed over the younger brother who then hit him resulting in a full fist fight,” the passenger claimed.

The brothers were then separated but continued shouting at each other until the crew decided to land in Corfu. Apparently, the younger brother and mom deplaned willingly, but the older brother refused and had to be dragged from the plane. They added that the younger brother “just kept saying ‘he pissed on me what I was supposed to do,’ and was quite upset and apologetic.”
