>Jet2 claimed that the incident cost them £86,000.

Interesting, I'd love to see that cost broken down.

>Between 2007 and 2017, more than 66,000 incidents of air rage were reported to the International Air Transport Association (Iata).

I know there are countless planes in the air every second of every day, but 66,000 incidents of "air rage" over a decade still seems crazy high!

I'm surprised it isn't higher:

> The aircraft was forced to return to the UK when Haines tried to open the door, forcing the RAF to scramble two Eurofighter Typhoon jets to intercept it.

That might mean:

- Fuel dump (max landing weight).

- Crew over-hours.

- Additional airport fees / take off slot.

- Compensation to other passengers.

If anything $86K seems low.

Agreed, just the Typhoon's cost way more: UK accounts 70k pounds per flight hour (that includes depreciation, capital costs and all that, pure per-hour cost is probably closer to 20k)

86K pounds which would be approx. US $111,450. Agreed, that seems less.
