Jet2 Turkey flight forced to land in Vienna after woman starts 'attacking passengers'

A plane travelling to Turkey had to be diverted after a passenger reportedly started to attack others on the flight.

The aircraft, which had travelled from Manchester on Monday morning had to be diverted to Vienna as a woman became disruptive and was said to have slapped other passengers during the flight, reported Manchester Evening News.

The Jet2 flight was due to arrive in Antalya, Turkey, four hours after leaving Manchester airport at around 9.15am on Monday morning (March 21). However, it was instead forced to land at Vienna almost two and a half hours into the flight at around 11.40am, after a disruption. It then set off again for Antalya at 1pm, before arriving shortly after 3pm.
