Jetstar flight to Bali must return to the skies after passenger ‘went crazy and banged on cockpit door’

A Jetstar flight to Bali was forced to turn around and land in Melbourne after a ‘passenger from hell’ went on a tirade and even banged on the cockpit door.

The plane took off as scheduled at 10 a.m. on Monday, but as the woman’s behavior became increasingly erratic, the flight crew decided to abandon the planned route and landed in Melbourne at 3 p.m.

Footage shows a woman standing in the aisle of flight JQ43 and shouting at passengers and staff.

“A Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Bali returned to Melbourne today because a woman went crazy and banged on the cockpit door thinking someone had stolen her phone,” one passenger wrote on Facebook.

More to come.
