Callum Kerr, 35, died after being restrained onboard a Jet2 flight from Larnaca, Cyprus, to Manchester Airport on June 21. Reports indicated that Kerr exhibited aggressive behaviour linked to heavy alcohol consumption during the flight, prompting intervention from passengers and crew.
Greater Manchester Police arrived upon the flight’s landing and found Kerr unresponsive. Officers attempted CPR before he was taken to hospital, where he died the following day.
Police were called at around 2:25am on June 22 after Kerr reportedly assaulted another passenger and a crew member during the flight, causing disruption onboard.
Other passengers and aircrew intervened and restrained Kerr at the rear of the plane before officers boarded and handcuffed him upon arrival at Manchester Airport.
Emergency services provided first aid and CPR to the unresponsive man. Paramedics quickly transferred Kerr to the hospital, but he passed away on June 23.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed they are supporting an independent inquiry into Kerr’s death following the onboard incident.
