Two passengers were arrested Friday evening on a flight from Manchester to Heraklion after their disruptive behavior caused concern among crew and fellow travelers. The individuals, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, created disturbances during the flight before being detained upon landing at Heraklion International Airport. Greek authorities met the aircraft on arrival to handle the situation. Tourists traveling to Crete should be aware that Greek and EU aviation regulations take disruptive in-flight behavior seriously.

Airlines operating routes to Heraklion enforce strict codes of conduct, particularly regarding alcohol consumption on board. Travelers are advised to drink responsibly during flights and to report any concerning behavior to cabin crew rather than engaging directly.
