Although the article does not specifically state that it was an EK flight, as far as I am aware EK is the only carrier to fly this route.
It will be interesting to see what punishment the Court gives him and if the airline bans him from future travel.
I also think that passengers should be able to sue people like this for the distress caused. The courts need to set examples and deliver extremely harsh punishments. I'm surprised this passenger didn't get a good kicking from the passengers and crew he threw his drinks over or spat at.
The irony in all of this is that passengers travelling from so-called Islamic countries (the UAE in this case) seem to be the ones getting drunk and causing mayhem more and more frequently these days, and ending up in the news.
