Dad Dies After Being Restrained by Jet2 Passengers on Manchester Airport Flight
Police said 2 people were assaulted before passengers and crew restrained the man, and officers later found him unresponsive on arrival.
- On Monday, June 22, 2026, a Jet2 flight from Larnaca to Manchester requested a priority landing after passenger Callum Kerr, in his 30s, became "disruptive" and was restrained by fellow travellers.
- Before boarding on Sunday, June 21, 2026, Kerr had allegedly consumed significant alcohol and spent the five-hour flight arguing with his girlfriend, prompting cabin crew to relocate her to another seat.
- Witnesses allege Kerr became increasingly aggressive, pacing the aisle, headbutting one passenger, and threatening others; one traveller said, "There was a lot of panic, you don't know what people might attempt to do on an airplane."
- Officers discovered Kerr was not breathing upon landing and immediately performed CPR, requesting a defibrillator; Greater Manchester Police confirmed he was transported to hospital in "critically ill" condition, where he has since died.
- Greater Manchester Police are investigating the incident while family members confirmed Kerr's death to the Manchester Evening News; Jet2 stated it would be "inappropriate" to comment further pending the investigation.
