EXCLUSIVE: Longford pair charged by UK Police after drink fuelled airplane incident
Two Longford men had to be escorted off a plane by UK Police over the weekend after an alleged drink fuelled incident at Leeds Airport, the Leader can reveal.
The incident, which is now the subject of a Police investigation, took place last Friday on board a Ryanair flight from Dublin Airport.
It is understood the pair became embroiled in the alleged incident ahead of a stag weekend in the north east of England.
Officers from West Yorkshire Police were forced to come on board and escort the duo off the plane.
The Leader made contact with a spokesperson from West Yorkshire Police on Monday who confirmed that the two men had since been charged.
Both men, who are aged 37 and 29 respectively and from Longford town, are due to appear before a sitting of Leeds Magistrates Court on July 24.
