A Jet2 flight from Antalya to Leeds Bradford Airport took much longer than planned due to an altercation during the journey. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Bulgaria because of a violent fight between two passengers.
Details of the Fight
- One of the individuals involved was described as a passenger wearing a striped shirt.
- It was reported that the passenger in the striped shirt initiated the fight and began exchanging punches with another passenger.
- During the altercation, the striped-shirt passenger was seen biting the other passenger on the neck.
- Other passengers attempted to stop the fight by throwing objects like trash or bottles at the aggressive passenger.
Unexpected Stop in Bulgaria
The flight crew altered the route to manage the situation, and the plane landed in Bulgaria. After the disruptive passengers were removed, the flight resumed. However, what was supposed to be a four-hour journey turned into an eight-hour ordeal.
Reactions from Passengers
The unexpected stop in Bulgaria caused concern and discomfort among the passengers. The journey’s duration doubling made the experience especially challenging for holidaymakers and those returning to the UK.
This incident once again highlighted how violent behavior on flights endangers both safety and the comfort of other passengers.
