Scuffle at Budapest Airport: police officers forced passengers down from Wizz Air plane

A scuffle broke out at Budapest Airport after some passengers refused to pay extra for their oversized baggage. As we covered in a previous article, Wizz Air takes baggage sizes more seriously again, but the passengers disregarded the staff’s warnings and boarded the plane. Police arrived to solve the situation, and the plane could take off only with a delay.

The scuffle started at Budapest Airport due to oversized baggage.

According to Telex, the reason was the oversized bags of some passengers, which ground handling partner Menzies Aviation refused to approve. However, some passengers of the Budapest-Basel flight did not want to pay the extra charge for their luggage. A scuffle broke out, and the passengers boarded the plane without permission.

Finally, the jet crew forced them down with the help of police officers. However, the plane could only take off with a delay due to the incident, but, thankfully, they arrived in the Swiss town later on Saturday.
