An easyJet flight from Iceland to Milan was tense after a drunk passenger was found to have a kitchen knife on board.
The plane had departed from Iceland’s Keflavík International Airport for Milan’s Malpensa Airport. According to Italian media, the passenger began shouting, disturbing other travelers and the crew. The fact that he was holding a knife made the situation more serious.

There is no indication that the passenger tried to use the knife to threaten or attack any traveler or crew member.
Shortly before landing in Milan, the pilots alerted air traffic control to the incident and requested a police presence at the airport. The crew kept the situation under control during the flight, and the plane landed without problems at Malpensa, where Italian authorities were waiting.
No injuries or disruptions to airport operations were reported. In a statement, easyJet said it does not tolerate such behavior on board and that the safety of passengers and crew is its top priority.
It is still unclear how the passenger managed to board the plane with a knife.
