A drunk passenger had to have his wrists tied to his seat on an Aer Lingus flight last weekend.

The man was restrained after reportedly being disorderly on a flight from Orlando to Dublin.

Other passengers say the man became disruptive just two hours into the 10-hour journey, according to the Irish Mirror. The cabin crew even considered turning the plane around and landing in Canada because of his behaviour.

One passenger told the paper:

“He was a jerk. Gardai told me he would be in a world of s**t and most likely would never be able to return to Ireland again, certainly not with Aer Lingus.”

The witness added that the man seemed to be drunk and was hassling members of the crew on board. She also said that the man was accompanied by his family and seemed to be American.

Upon landing at Dublin Airport, the pilot told passengers that there had been an incident during the flight and that the aircraft was being met by officers.

Gardaí added that:

“A 30-year-old man was arrested at Dublin Airport last Friday after disembarking a flight from Orlando".

“The man was arrested under Section 48 State Airport Act 2014 and conveyed to Ballymun Garda station".
