A flight carrying 200 people forced to turn around on a “destructive” passenger trying to open the ocean
A Jetstar plane from Bali, Indonesia to Melbourne, Australia was forced to turn around after a passenger tried to open the door.
The “destructive” passengers who took off from Den Barça Airport on Monday, March 31, who had an hour-long flight in the Indian Ocean tried to open the plane door.
“We returned to Denpasar last night after a destructive passenger tried to open an airplane door and abused our crew members,” the airline said in a statement to the people.
“The safety and welfare of our customers and staff is our top priority and we appreciate their response to the situation. This unacceptable behavior will never be tolerated on our flights.”
Local authorities in Bali evacuated passengers from the plane and canceled the flight. The airline shared that other passengers were given another type of flight.

Flight radar 24 on the flight tracking website shows that the plane took the plane at 8:20 local time and then transferred the plane back to Denpasar Airport one hour later.
Australian TV host Jacqueline Felgate, who is on the flight, posted a video on Instagram that sent passengers messages to passengers as the plane returned to Bali.
“Earlier tonight, there was a lady on the plane trying to open the door. She raised her handle…we had a door warning in front of the plane.” “…For safety reasons, the flight door might also open…we don’t know why [this happened] But unfortunately, the safest action is… back to the land. ”

Australian survivor Star Brooke Jowett was also on the flight and shared in her Instagram story “Two hours after the flight attendant started running, people started frightening and we were told to put on seat belts right away. We will soon find out that we are no longer passengers returning to Bali because one passenger no longer wants to fly and is trying to force an emergency ride on the first aid door in the orthogonal door.”
Jovitt said it was “very scary few hours” and she planned to return to Melbourne the next day. She also posted a photo back to Den Barca Airport when she wrote “S — Show” when disgruntled passengers collected their luggage.
People have contacted Den Barca Airport for comment.
