And hopefully the Mounties gave them a good kicking.

it wouldn't be that difficult for an airline to write into their contract with their ground handling agents that said agent will meet all costs caused by passengers being drunk/disruptive, and that the agent can have the joy of recovering this money from the passenger! Should concentrate minds somewhat...

How did they end up in Manchester Crown Court when they were arrested in Winnipeg? I though these cases were normally prosecuted in the jurisdiction where the aircraft lands.

Good old Manchester.
My daughter who was 17 at the time told me she was given a free shot of Vodka at Manchester at 6am earlier this year and they offered my lad who was only 15 one as well then realised that he was perhaps not 18 yet but asked him if he was old enough. They will do anything to get you in the bar.
I have seen plenty falling out of minibuses all ready drunk when they turn up outside the Terminal. Just part and parcel of a big section of UK society now days.
A chap I know is a paramedic, he hates Friday and Saturday nights as most of his calls are to very drunk people some of whom like to fight the medics who are trying to help them.
2 years in Prison. Happy days, let hope it gets plenty of coverage in the UK national press

So it would make sense to be detained by the authorities in the country where they landed, and subsequently extradited for prosecution.

I hope she went on with the wedding and answered the ultimate question with : NO!
Not fit for breeding.
Manchester , what can I say, not my favorite destination.
I deleted my further comment.

Flying for a large european airline I would not be quite so fast to blame just the British for drunken behaviour on aircraft, I have had problems with drunken passengers from most nations.
Largley the other nationals are embarrassed by the behaviour and say little about is, the British recognise the problem and the British police take action in court and so the problem is not swept under the carpet.

That should've been a subject to discuss at Monsieur de Juniac's recent IATA conference

Dave,
In a recent article in the SF Chronicle, it was stated that SFO makes more money on pickup and dropoff charges from ride-share companies than the combined revenue from food, beverage, and other sales. $39 million from 2014 on.

Doubtless IATA would be concerned if there was a risk of airports losing revenue from any source, if it meant that its members would be squeezed to make up the deficit.

Surely someone who behaves like that on a plane will have shown signs of that sort of behaviour before - I imagine the bride admires him for his manly ways. And the airline should definitely go after him for the full cost of the diversion - his 40K a year might not look so good.

I'm just a bit curious here, but does anyone know what type of aircraft was involved in this incident? The great circle distance from Manchester, U.K. to Las Vegas, U.S.A., is roughly 5100 statute miles, and the distance from Manchester, U.K. to Winnipeg, Canada is roughly 3800 miles, or around 3/4 of the way from Manchester to Las Vegas. I would think that a transport category aircraft, having completed 75% of its journey would have burned off more than enough fuel so as to be under its maximum landing weight, thus making it unnecessary to dump fuel for landing. Or could the reportage be incorrect? Or could my guesstimate figuring be incorrect (more likely)?
Cheers,
