Jet2 passengers ‘vomit in terror’ as plane forced to turn back after ‘loud bang’ & mystery ‘chemical smell’ in cabin

JET2 passengers were left “vomiting in terror” after a “loud bang” and mystery “chemical smell” in the cabin forced their plane to turn back.

The flight to Manchester had to return to Antalya airport in Turkey an hour and a half after taking off at 11.45pm on Tuesday.

A passenger said she heard a “loud bang” shortly after take-off followed by a “burning chemical smell”.

She told the Manchester Evening News: “Quite a few passengers were vomiting.”

A flight map shows the plane turning back over inland Turkey and heading back to Antalya, a resort on the country’s south coast.

Jet2 said: “Flight LS1702 from Antalya to Manchester followed standard procedure and returned to Antalya Airport yesterday, due to a technical issue.

“The aircraft landed safely and we arranged for all customers to be provided with hotel accommodation overnight.”

A spokesperson added: “We will be flying customers back to Manchester Airport today.

“We would of course like to apologise for the delay to their travel plans.”
