Jet2 Passenger Jailed 14 Months for Threatening Air Hostess

Jason Roddis, a 37-year-old from Bradford, has been sentenced to 14 months in prison for threatening cabin crew during a Jet2 flight from Turkey to Leeds Bradford Airport last summer. The court heard that Roddis exhibited disruptive behavior after consuming alcohol he brought aboard, which led to an argument with his partner and numerous threats against the crew, including comments about physical violence. Despite the crew's attempts to manage the situation, Roddis continued to act aggressively, resulting in police intervention upon landing. His lawyer cited his struggles with anxiety and depression, worsened by a lack of medication while abroad, as contributing factors to his behavior. Roddis, who has a significant criminal history, pleaded guilty to multiple offenses related to his conduct on the flight.
