Two women arrested after smoking disrupts Crete flight, injures officer

Wednesday, 24 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
Two women caused a serious disturbance on a flight to Crete by smoking and shouting onboard. When police attempted to detain them upon landing, an officer sustained a fracture and required hospital treatment. The incident highlights that disruptive behavior on flights is taken seriously by Greek authorities and can result in arrest. Tourists should be aware that smoking is strictly prohibited on all flights operating to and from Crete, including Heraklion and Chania airports. Violations can lead to immediate detention and criminal charges. If you witness disruptive passenger behavior onboard, notify cabin crew immediately rather than intervening directly. Greek law enforcement responds firmly to aviation security incidents, and passengers involved in such disruptions face significant legal consequences upon arrival.
