A JET2 flight from Glasgow was forced to make an emergency landing after a “drunk” woman reportedly attacked cabin crew.

The airline said the emergency squawk was made after a customer’s “appalling and aggressive” actions during the journey.
It’s understood the woman injured herself after hitting her face on the seat as staff were unable to calm her down.
According to Greek newspaper Protothema, the 61-year-old passenger was charged with obstructing traffic, disorderly conduct on an aircraft in flight and disobeying pilot orders.
She allegedly refused to apologise during the initial probe into the incident.
A Jet2 spokesperson slammed the woman for her behaviour and reassured customers she is now “banned for life”.
They also apologised to travellers for the disruption.
They added: “Flight LS199 from Glasgow to Antalya diverted to Thessaloniki Airport on the evening of Sunday 15th October, so that a disruptive customer could be offloaded after she demonstrated a continued pattern of appalling and aggressive behaviour onboard.
“As a family-friendly airline, we take a zero tolerance to disruptive behaviour, and we can confirm that the customer has been banned for life.
“We would like to thank our highly trained crew for their handling of this incident, however, they should never have to deal with such behaviour.
“We would also like to apologise to customers for the disruption on their flight home.”
