Police have arrested four people that forced a Liverpool-bound flight to be rerouted.
The Easyjet flight from Barcelona had to be diverted to Bristol Airport at around 10.30pm on Thursday due to the behaviour of several passengers on-board.
Avon and Somerset Police have confirmed that two 29-year-old men, a 26-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man were all detained following the incident.
One of the 29-year-olds was arrested on suspicion of intentionally interfering with the performance of an on-board crew member in their duty.
The other three people have been held on suspicion of using threatening, absuive or insulting words aboard the flight destined for John Lennon Airport.
“We can confirm that flight EZY7208 from Barcelona to Liverpool diverted to Bristol due to four passengers behaving disruptively,” said an Easyjet spokesman.
“The aircraft was met by the police upon arrival in Bristol and continued to Liverpool once the passengers were arrested.
“easyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.
“Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously, do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard and always push for prosecution.
“The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet’s priority.”
