Will that be First Class, Business Class, Coach, or Hooligan….?

British Airways is to issue soccer-style yellow cards to irate passengers on the ground, it has been announced.

The airline is the first in the world to operate the scheme after a successful pilot scheme for air rage.

A British Airways spokeswoman said: “The scheme is something we have done in the air when a passenger’s behaviour is becoming threatening or abusive.

“We are now extending the scheme to the ground to protect our check-in and airport staff.”

The cards will be given to any passenger who is disruptive or abusive.
