Plane lands after 'out of control' woman screams, slaps fellow passenger

• Witnesses say the woman was angry because of babies making noise on the plane.
• Flight was going to Turkey but had to land in Vienna.
• Witness says customer said something and she slapped him in the face.

A Turkey-bound flight from Manchester had to be diverted to Austria after a woman on the plane got "out of control" and even slapped a fellow passenger.

According to a report by The Independent, the incident took place earlier this week after the woman in question started screaming on board and also assaulted a fellow passenger. 

Other passengers on the flight who witnessed the incident said that the woman started "kicking off" even before the plane had taken off the Manchester Airport. 

Some travellers told the publication that the woman was angry because of babies making noise on the plane. 

Per the piece, the flight left Manchester at 9am on Monday, March 21, to land in Turkey's Antalya. However, because of the drama the woman created, the flight had to divert towards Vienna, where it landed at 11:38am.

One of the passengers said that the woman kept ranking and making noise for about one hour and 20 minutes and got frantic with the passage of time. 

“Then she came to the front of the plane. She was really angry towards the plane staff and wouldn’t calm down. Her voice was getting louder and more aggressive - she was shouting in people’s faces,” claimed the witness, according to the report. 

“A customer said something and she slapped him in the face. Then a man got up to try and calm the situation before taking her to the back of the plane.”

Other passengers said that the frantic woman had proceeded to slap a second passenger in the face before the plane was able to land and offload her.
