Passengers on the flight filmed the ordeal.
An "intoxicated" passenger was handed over to police after risking the safety of holidaymakers on a Manchester flight to Turkey, an airline said.
The Brit passenger seated next to him, who asked to be kept anonymous, filmed the ordeal. They said: “After taking off the stewardess asked if they could put another passenger next to me.“He kept shouting and as he was getting up he was knocking my partner and kids. People kept coming over and asking him to be quiet.
A spokesperson for Corendon Airlines said: "The flight was operated by another airline as a wet-lease operation on behalf of Corendon Airlines. The cabin crew determined a passenger who is intoxicated, making other passengers unsafe and the work environment of the flight crew uneasy which we call 'Unruly Passenger' in aviation terms.
