The crew of Wizz Air flight W6 4278 (Billund-Tuzla) did not have an easy job on December 28, 2021 due to an extremely aggressive passenger. There was thick fog in Tuzla, which is why the captain decided to move to Belgrade. A passenger didn't mind that at all.

The traveler initially declared loudly that he did not want to land in Serbia and gradually lost control of himself. He even threatened to kill everyone on the plane. The low-cost airline's cabin crew stepped in and held the man to the ground. The way in which the “unruly PAX” had behaved gave sufficient cause for the behavior to be classified as threatening.

According to a statement from the Serbian police, the troublemaker is said to be a Danish citizen, but have Bosnian roots. Based on his statements and threats, which were released on board the Airbus A320 with the registration HA-LPK, there is at least a not unfounded assumption that racist motives could have been the trigger for his total derailment. He wanted at all costs to avoid having to enter Serbian territory. In the Balkans region, there are still considerable tensions between the individual nationalities.

The Wizz Air crew, who managed to get the incident under control, reported the incident to the Serbian executive in the cabin. She entered the Airbus A320 shortly after landing and led the rioter away. A preliminary investigation into various criminal offenses is now being conducted against him.

Some passengers captured the hustle and bustle on board with their cell phone cameras. As an example, a short video that was published on YouTube is shown below. Further recordings can be found in various social media portals.
