A FLIGHT full of Brit holidaymakers had to make an emergency landing after a teenage girl attacked a member of cabin crew and tried to open the plane door mid-flight. The Easyjet flight had to divert from Gatwick to Bari in Italy after a young female passenger allegedly launched an assault on staff and threatened to stab them while being held down.
Passengers on board claimed the out-of-control teen lost her temper at a 10-year-old girl because she was coughing loudly. Nadine, 39, from Reading, and her daughter Jernai, 19, who were on the plane from Antalya to Gatwick on Friday night (Dec 27), described it as a “flight from hell” that ruined their Christmas.
She told The Sun: “We went to Turkey for Christmas, where we had a really lovely holiday at a hotel called Aska Lara. "We were all nice and relaxed, but then it turned to hell on the flight home. It’s ruined my Christmas. “So this 16-year-old was about four rows behind me and she was sitting next to a little girl who was about 10 started coughing and she told her to stop.
“The little girl went to the toilet but the older girl followed her to the toilet. "The girl kept having outbursts saying ‘get out of my face’, and she wouldn’t let her out. “Then the mum went down and the teenage girl was shouting in her face.
