Manchester Jet2 flight forced to land 1,100 miles away in different country after woman starts 'slapping passengers'

A flight from Manchester to Turkey was forced to land 1,100 miles away from its destination after a woman onboard became 'disruptive' and reportedly slapped other passengers.

The Jet2 flight to Antalya left Manchester at around 9.15am on Monday and was due to arrive in Turkey around four-and-a-half hours later.

But the plane was diverted to, and landed in, Vienna at around 11.40am, reports the Manchester Evening News (MEN).
