TUI flight 'nightmare' as police called and woman goes into labour

A woman has described a TUI flight 'from hell' where police were called onboard and a woman went into labour.

Council worker Naomii Thomas, 36, was on board the delayed flight from Cape Verde to Bristol, on June 8 when passengers reported it briefly “bouncing hard off the ground” at Bristol Airport, before taking off again and sending an emergency 7700 code to land urgently elsewhere. The plane eventually landed in Birmingham where passengers waited another two hours on the runway - leading to some getting so angry police were called to remove them and monitor the situation.

Naomii said these weren’t the first strange occurrences, and she believes problems had started before the plane had even taken off from the African island, WalesOnline reports.
