Two passengers caused mayhem on a flight from the UK to Turkey, forcing the crew to divert today. The Mirror reported that a pair of drunk men went on the rampage on the easyJet aircraft travelling from Manchester Airport.
It had been due to touch down in Dalaman, southwestern Turkey but instead was diverted to the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki. Two Russian passengers, both men aged 48 and 39, were arrested by police when the plane landed in Greece, authorities said.
The pair were charged with disturbing the peace, disrupting transport and disobeying the crew’s instructions. There was no physical altercation on the flight, authorities said.
