An easyJet flight, from Egypt to Manchester, had to be diverted twice after an unruly passenger created ruckus mid-air. Families with babies were stuck onboard flight EZY1886 for nearly 12 hours when it takes only around six hours to reach Manchester.
The flight was first diverted to Greece, where the abusive passenger was removed from the flight, and then it took-off for Italy to pick up a replacement crew in order to avoid an overnight delay, reported Metro.co.uk.
An easyJet spokeswoman said: 'We can confirm EZY1886 from Hurghada to Manchester diverted to Athens as a result of a passenger onboard behaving disruptively.
Unfortunately as a result of the diversion the crew were unable to operate the flight onto Manchester within their legal operating hours.'
A disabled passenger, Lyndsey Konya, 37, said, "It was a horrible experience, being trapped for many hours on a plane not designed for long haul. The seats were very uncomfortable and it's caused me extreme pain due to having spinal problems and being sat down for that length of time."
Konya who was travelling with husband Simon, 50, and children PJ, 13, and Mia, 12, labelled the man 'abusive' and 'aggressive'. "There were lots of young children on board, including the children and baby of the man. His poor partner was left on board with four young children," Konya added.
