You should know that anything that happen in an A6 Registered aircraft is considered as it was done on the UAE soil and the UAE law applied.
This is true for any aircraft from any country.
So next time you are on board an aircraft , be careful and make sure you follow the rules if you Don't want to end up in a similar situation.
Actually it’s not nearly that simple . As this incident happened on ground in DXB then UAE law would apply. It’s a very grey area but in my experience drinking is ok but in case of any subsequent altercation it would be held against you .. the whole jail thing sounds well over the top . More to this than is being reported ... I hope . Got to rush I’m off to the airport duty free after sampling the well advertised wine list on EK. Sounds like a loss of face event plus the photography didn’t go down too well ! A little power in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing
