THIS is the shocking moment an airline safety coach is wrestled to the ground after sparking a brawl 30,000ft up in the sky.

The flight to Moscow was forced to emergency land in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk after passengers got involved in restraining the “drunk” thug.

Footage on the plane shows a man in a blue t-shirt, thought to be 44-year-old airline safety instructor Ilya, being dragged to the back of the plane by a random man.

The person filming proceeds to follow the pair as other passengers watch on in horror at the chaos that is about to unfold – all out of their seats.

The man then proceeds to kick Ilya to the ground before overpowering him as he proceeds to shout aggressively in Russian.

Another unknown man is then seen being held by cabin crew with cable ties bound to his hands and legs behind his back.

Eyewitnesses to the flight chaos claim the 44-year-old airline safety instructor became aggressive which led to the pilot having to make an emergency landing, local media reports.

Ilya was also apparently drunk on the flight and began fighting with his colleagues before fellow passengers felt they had to involve themselves in the disagreement.

Cabin crew attempted to diffuse the situation but Ilya proceeded to try and hit a flight attendant – escalating the disagreement into a huge brawl.

Ilya eventually was subdued by cabin crew after two passengers stepped in, Russia‘s Dzen.ru reports.

But because of his repetitive verbal threats towards to the crew, the plane had to make an emergency landing.

This was after Rossiya Airlines decided it couldn’t ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

Ilya was handed over to cops where a criminal case has been opened against him, accusing the thug of “hooliganism”.

There are claims that Rossiya Airlines plans to go to court to recover damages from the flight troublemaker.

Similarly in summer a Ryanair “flight from hell” had to be diverted just 36 minutes into its journey after a “mass brawl” broke out between passengers midair.

Shocking footage shows holidaymakers screaming at each other across the plane while flustered airline staff try to calm them down about 30,000ft up.

A passenger on board the evening flight from Agadir to London Stansted on Wednesday said a row broke out between two families during boarding.

It started when a man, thought to be in his late 20s, asked another passenger to move so he could sit with his wife and young children.

The woman, who was sitting with her own daughter, reportedly refused to budge – prompting the thug to start threatening her.

The flight took off with no problems, but as soon as the seat belt signs came off, the passenger’s husband, understood to be in his 30s, is said to have jumped to his wife’s defence.

Punches were reportedly thrown between the two men while Ryanair staff attempted to intervene.

A Brit on the flight, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “They were trying to punch each other. One of the families was part of a larger group so other passengers started to join in.

“Then a lady in the row behind started to have a panic attack because of everything going on. She was screaming and there were kids crying. It was like a snowball effect.”
