Air rage incident leaves 340 passengers stranded

  • A Tui flight from Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Manchester, UK, was diverted to Nassau, Bahamas, on Sunday due to a disruptive passenger.
  • During the diversion, a component was damaged while dumping fuel, leading to 340 passengers being stranded in Nassau for several days.
  • Passengers reported poor accommodation and a lack of Tui staff support, causing significant frustration after the cancellation of their initial flight.
  • A new aircraft component was dispatched from London Heathrow, with the flight now expected to depart Nassau on Tuesday and arrive in Manchester on Wednesday, over two days late.
  • Tui is offering passengers £520 in compensation and a £100 holiday voucher, with the incident estimated to cost the airline at least £300,000.
