Jet2 flight chaos: Emergency landing after in‑flight brawl
Aggressive passengers can be a nightmare for many people travelling by plane. What happened on the flight from Turkey to the United Kingdom quickly got out of hand.
A Jet2 flight from Antalya, Turkey to Leeds, England, turned into a nightmare when two passengers started a fight on board. As the conflict escalated, the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in Bulgaria, according to the "New York Post".
Headbutting and attempted biting
In the video of the incident that appeared on TikTok, you can see a man in a striped shirt attacking another passenger. Despite intervention attempts by the crew and other travellers, the aggressor continued his attacks, using headbutts and attempting to bite his opponent, reminiscent of the famous incident involving Mike Tyson.
The situation became so serious that the crew decided to land in Sofia, Bulgaria, handing the aggressive passengers over to local authorities.
The video of the fight caused a stir on social media. Users commented on the extreme brutality of the event and jokingly remarked on the situation. One person wrote: "You know it's the UK when people are headbutting," while another questioned: "How is it possible that the big guys standing behind the aggressors couldn't separate them?"
As a result of the entire situation, the flight, which was supposed to last just over four hours, was extended to eight, causing significant inconvenience to the other passengers.
