The assistant to the head of Yakutia paid a fine for a brawl on an Aeroflot plane.

Evgeny Shigapov, who is the assistant to the head of Yakutia, fully admitted his guilt over the riot committed on board the aircraft of the Aeroflot airline and paid the fine for the incident with the delayed departure of the aircraft from Moscow to Yakutsk... What amount we are talking about is still unknown, however, obviously the fine could have amounted to tens of thousands of rubles.

It should be clarified that on February 19, the assistant to the head of Yakutia left his seat and tried to enter the cockpit. Having received a refusal, the man began to argue with the crew members, trying to put pressure on the representatives of the carrier, in connection with which the police officers were called on board, who detained Yevgeny Shagapov, having drawn up a protocol on an administrative offense against him.

According to the general director of the Russian airline Aeroflot, at least 10 such incidents have occurred since the beginning of this year, and in the overwhelming majority of cases, passengers with gold and platinum status turned out to be violators, and therefore the carrier took all measures to deprive the rowdy of such statuses and bringing them to administrative responsibility.

In 2017, 634 cases of brawl were recorded on board aircraft, while, according to experts, the vast majority of violators were intoxicated.
