An easyJet flight from the UK to Turkey was diverted to Greece early on Sunday after two passengers became drunk, unruly and started shouting at fellow passengers and crew, according to the authorities.
The two Russian men, aged 48 and 39, were arrested after the plane was forced to divert to the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki. The scheduled flight from Manchester was due to land in Dalaman in southwestern Turkey.
They have since been charged with disturbing the peace, disrupting transport and disobeying the crew’s instructions. There was no physical altercation, authorities said.
