An EasyJet flight descended into "Wild West" chaos after being forced 650 miles off course.
The airborne disorder could trigger a blanket ban on mayhem-making passengers after airline insiders said bosses would back any behavioural crackdown.
Last week, Jet2 called for the creation of a national database for disruptive passengers after chaos broke out on a flight on one of their planes heading to Britain.
But what triggered EasyJet's desperate bid to clamp down on their clientele's conduct was a drunk couple, who were both arrested on the plane from Gatwick heading to Turkey.
The two passengers were not travelling together, but once they discovered they were both from Kent, they hit it off.
The woman spent a portion of the flight downing vodka and spat at someone, which evolved into a brawl, passengers said.
Meanwhile, the man said anyone who complained about their behaviour would be killed – and mentioned he had been in jail before.
"It was terrifying behaviour," a passenger told The Sun.

"Kids were screaming. It was a packed family jet but more like the Wild West."
The woman's partner eventually moved away with one of their children, who was described as upset.
Police boarded after the plane diverted to Kosovo, throwing the rest of the passengers' journeys into disarray.

Jet2 is lobbying for a 'national yob database'

There, officers boarded the aircraft and hauled the drunk man and woman off the chaotic flight.
The plane eventually landed in the Turkish city three hours later than scheduled, allowing holidaymakers to disembark the Airbus.
An EasyJet spokesman said: "We do not tolerate disruptive behaviour. The safety of customers and crew is always our highest priority."
Now, the British airline could join in with competitor Jet2 to ban known yobs from flying any and every UK carrier.
After passengers described a distressing flight as the "ultimate flight from hell", they revealed they were lobbying for the creation of a national database of the troublemakers.
The incident - which was caught on camera - saw an allegedly drunken traveller threatening staff and fellow passengers in a furious tirade of abuse.
He then proceeded to "smash" the cabin crew member's "f****** face in", before threatening to kill him, The Sun revealed.
Jet2 deemed the chaotic scenes to be so serious that bosses have now called for a national database for airlines.
As a result, the hooligans would be banned from flying with Jet2 - as well as every other major UK airline.
