Gatwick flight chaos as police remove 'drunk and unruly' woman from plane after mid-air diversion
Briefly

A Wizz Air flight en route from London Gatwick to Hurghada, Egypt, was forced to divert to Athens due to a passenger's disruptive behavior. Approximately two and a half hours into the flight, a woman began arguing with cabin crew, leading to escalating tensions that prompted the captain to announce a potential emergency landing unless she complied. Upon landing, law enforcement escorted her off the plane, and passengers were left recording the interruption. The incident delayed the flight significantly and ultimately disrupted subsequent bookings due to regulations governing crew duty time.
