Shocking footage of woman's onboard rant that forces Jet2 holiday flight to be diverted

An irate woman rages at cabin crew on a Jet2 flight from Manchester to Turkey as fellow passengers looked on in disbelief. The shocking footage shows her foul behaviour before she is kicked off the flight after the plane is diverted.

The young woman can be seen screaming, pacing up and down and shouting on board the flight, which had to be diverted to the Austrian city of Vienna after she 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, reports YorkshireLive.

It landed in the Austrian capital at around 11.40am, before the plane resumed its journey, the Manchester Evening News reported. In the video, the fuming woman, understood to be from the Kirklees area, can be seen standing up and shouting at uniformed staff on the flight.

A cabin crew member can be seen telling her to 'stand back', to which she replies: "I am back. Sort your head out you." The airline team member responds: "You are not doing yourself any favours."

She replies: "Your'e not doing yourself any favours either. So what have I done? Don't touch me, don't ****ing touch me." She adds: "What have I done? What have I done wrong on this flight, eh? See, you haven't got an answer."

A man can be seen shaking his head at the woman's behaviour. Other clips appear to show armed police officers escorting the woman from the plane. One passenger can be heard shouting: "Wait til you get the bill love." Others are shouting "bye bye" as the woman is led away by armed officers.

A text sent by Jet2 to passengers onboard the flight shortly before 12pm said: "Hello, we are sorry that due to the disruptive behaviour of a fellow passenger, your flight has been diverted to Vienna. We are working on a situation to get you on your way as soon as possible."

The flight arrived at its original destination, Antalya, shortly after 3pm - one hour and 15 minutes later than scheduled. A spokesperson for Jet2 confirmed that flight LS895 diverted to Vienna "so that a disruptive passenger could be offloaded. As a family friendly airline, we take a zero tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour," the statement said.
