A group of 'disruptive passengers' were reportedly hauled off a flight from Cancun to Manchester after it was forced to divert.
According to various American news reports, two males from Manchester were arrested and have since been charged with federal crimes of assault and interfering with flight crew. The plane, bound for Manchester, was forced to divert to the Bangor International Airport on Monday night (January 2). A third man was also removed from the flight but not charged.
An FBI affidavit filed in federal court in Maine outlined how there were a group of three disruptive passengers who had taken alcohol out of their carry on luggage after being denied service when on board the flight.
