A Jet2 flight was forced to divert after an “out of control” woman became aggressive and allegedly slapped another passenger on board.
The plane headed to Antalya, Turkey departed Manchester Airport at around 9.15am on Monday morning - with an expected flight time of almost four-and-a-half hours.
However, as the flight pushed over the half-way mark, an altercation involving a “disruptive” passenger gave the pilot no choice other than to divert to Vienna.
Patient passengers were held on-board in the Austrian capital before taking off for Antalya for a second time at 1pm - with the plane finally arriving at 3pm.
A passenger on the flight - who wished to remain anonymous - explained how a female passenger became disruptive - causing a “lot of noise”.
They told Manchester Evening News : “Then she came to the front of the plane. She was really angry towards Jet2 staff and wouldn’t calm down.
“Her voice was getting louder and more aggressive - she was shouting in people’s faces.
“People were saying she was kicking off at the airport before she even got on the plane.
“Then some people said it was over babies crying on the flight.
“A customer said something and she slapped him in the face.
“Then a man got up to try and calm the situation before taking her to the back of the plane.”
The passenger said that staff then made the decision to divert the flight to Vienna.
As the plane landed, the woman was said to have slapped another passenger as she was getting off.
“This is the first time we have had to land because of someone on a flight,” the passenger added.
“Jet2 staff handled the whole situation very well.
“Nobody could help the out-of-control woman once she slapped the passenger.”
