Tenerife to Liverpool Easyjet plane turns around after mega-fight on board

A flight operated by EasyJet from Tenerife to Liverpool was diverted back to Tenerife after a major fight broke out among approximately ten passengers. The incident occurred about half an hour after takeoff, prompting the pilot to return to the airport on the Canary Island. According to the Spanish Air Traffic Controllers' Association, the situation posed a threat to onboard safety. The incident took place on Tuesday evening during flight EZY3352. After several passengers became involved in a physical altercation, the crew informed air traffic control of their intention to return and requested police presence upon landing. The air traffic controllers accelerated the plane’s return and coordinated the police operation at the airport. The aircraft landed safely in Tenerife South without further incidents. Police were already waiting for those involved upon arrival. Authorities did not initially report any arrests or injuries, and the cause of the fight remained unclear. EasyJet confirmed the incident and stated that it takes aggressive or disruptive behavior seriously and does not tolerate it. The crew is trained to act quickly in such situations to ensure passenger and crew safety.
