Four passengers have been charged following two alleged mid-air brawls that saw a window get smashed

Four passengers have been arrested following two alleged mid-air brawls that prompted an emergency landing during a flight from Cairns.

Australian Federal Police (AFP) and NT Police confirmed charges were laid during an unnamed flight from Queensland to the Northern Territory on Thursday evening.

“The AFP was called to attend an incident on a flight from Cairns to Groote Eylandt, which had caused the flight to be turned around, on Thursday, April 20,” an AFP spokesperson told news.com.au in a statement.

In a video of part of the incident, a group of rowdy passengers can be seen standing near the aisle where one of them allegedly raises a bottle above their head seemingly to strike another passenger.

When the first alleged incident broke out, it prompted the flight to turn back to Queensland where a woman was charged.

“A female passenger was removed and charged with disorderly behaviour on an aircraft, common assault and failing to comply with safety instructions by cabin crew,” the spokesperson said.

I took two weeks vacation for the honeymoon
A couple tickets all inclusive down in Cancun
I couldn’t get my money back so I’m in seat 7A
I’m getting drunk on a plane

I bet the fella on the aisle thought I was crazy
‘Cause I taped your picture to the seatback right beside me
Now I’ve got empty mini bottles fillin’ both our trays
Hmm, I’m getting drunk on a plane

Buyin’ drinks for everybody
But the pilot, it’s a party
Got this 737 rocking like a G6
Stewardess is somethin’ sexy
Leanin’ pourin’ Coke and whiskey
Told her about my condition
Got a little mile-high flight attention
It’s Mardi Gras up in the clouds
I’m up so high, may never come down
I’ll try anything to drown out the pain
They all know why I’m getting drunk on a plane
We had this date marked on the calendar forever
We’d take that new wed limo airport ride together
I feel like a plastic groom alone there at the top of the cake

So hey, I’m getting drunk on a plane
Buyin’ drinks for everybody
But the pilot, it’s a party
Got this 737 rocking like a G6
Stewardess is somethin’ sexy
Leanin’ pourin’ Coke and whiskey
Told her about my condition
Got a little mile-high flight attention

It’s Mardi Gras up in the clouds
I’m up so high, may never come down
I’ll try anything to drown out the pain
They all know why I’m getting drunk on a plane
On my way home I’ll bump this seat right up to first class
So I can drink that cheap champagne out of a real glass
And when we land I’ll call her up and tell her kiss my ass
‘Cause hey, I’m drunk on a plane

Buyin’ drinks for everybody
But the pilot, it’s a party
Got this 737 rocking like a G6
Stewardess is somethin’ sexy
Leanin’ pourin’ Coke and whiskey
Told her about my condition
Got a little mile-high flight attention
It’s Mardi Gras up in the clouds
I’m up so high, may never come down
I’ll try anything to drown out the pain
They all know why I’m getting drunk on a plane

I’m getting drunk on a plane
I might be passed out
In the baggage claim, hmm
But right now
I’m drunk on a plane

I thought, “Austrailia, so it very probably wouldn’t be the expected perps.”

I evidently was wrong. It must be something in the air.
