Two passengers were taken off a low-cost airline company flight as it was getting ready for takeoff from Sofia to Madrid.
The two men were not happy that the takeoff from Sofia Airport’s terminal 1 had been delayed by two hours and they would miss the quarterfinals of the Champions’ League between Real Madrid and Chelsea for which they had tickets. One of them made offensive remarks to the crew. The cabin attendants immediately notified the captain who called border police and the football fans were taken off the plane.
Even though the crew apologized for the inconvenience, the incident delayed takeoff further because the authorities carried out an additional inspection of the luggage of the 200 passengers.
