Two men were blocked from boarding their flight after making 'reckless' comments to staff about their suitcase contents, police have said. The males were unable to get on their plane at East Midlands Airport (EMA) in the afternoon on Tuesday, August 30.
EMA Police described the comments as inappropriate and said airlines have a zero tolerance towards such behaviour. The force wrote in a post on Twitter: "This afternoon two adult males were denied flight boarding following inappropriate comments made to staff about the contents of their luggage.
"Such reckless statements are not acceptable and airlines correctly have a zero tolerance to such behaviour." In an earlier, separate tweet police said officers had been patrolling the EMA terminal in a bid to disrupt criminal activity.
