Jet2 flight diverted due to passenger and weather problems

A Jet2 flight from London Stansted to Tenerife South had to be diverted to Gran Canaria after a “highly conflictual” passenger on board caused significant disruption.

The passenger caused altercations that eventually led to a fight. Due to the situation and in consultation with air traffic controllers, the crew attempted to divert the flight. But in addition to the problems on board, dangerous windshear conditions occurred during the landing attempt in Tenerife, making a safe landing impossible. Windshear, a sudden change in wind speed or direction, poses a significant risk during the approach to landing. After two failed attempts, the crew decided to divert the aircraft to Gran Canaria, where the disruptive passenger was arrested.
