Police say the drunk woman, 48, began ‘swearing blue murder’ and throwing food
at staff on the Thomson Airlines flight because she wanted cigarettes.

A plane had to be diverted to Gatwick Airport last night after a woman allegedly unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade and threw her prosthetic leg at cabin crew.

A Sussex police spokesman said trouble started when the woman, 48, began “swearing blue murder” and throwing food at staff on the Thomson Airlines flight 297.

The captain became so alarmed by her behaviour that he diverted the plane, which was flying from Enfidha in Tunisia and destined for Edinburgh, to Gatwick.

The woman, who is unemployed and from Edinburgh, was arrested by police at the North Terminal at 10.22pm last night.

She was taken to Crawley police station where she is being quizzed by officers on suspicion of using threatening behaviour
