Jet2 Bans Couple for Life Over Reported In‑Seat Sex Act Before Takeoff

The airline cites a zero‑tolerance, family‑focused policy.

Overview

  • The incident, which occurred Thursday 16 April on Jet2 flight LS669 from East Midlands to Gran Canaria, involved a couple in their 50s reportedly engaging in sexual activity in their seats before takeoff.
  • Fellow passenger Darren Street said he filmed the behavior while the plane was on the runway and alerted cabin crew because children were nearby.
  • Crew members considered turning the aircraft back to East Midlands before deciding to continue the four‑hour flight to the Canary Islands.
  • After landing, the pair were removed from a Jet2‑affiliated hotel and had their return flights cancelled, leaving them to arrange their own way home.
  • Jet2 confirmed lifetime bans for both passengers and said the action reflects its stance against conduct it views as inappropriate for a family airline.
