Flight forced off course
Flight NT6004 operated by Binter, which was covering the route between Gran Canaria and Madrid on Wednesday, had to be diverted to Jerez Airport due to the disruptive behaviour of one of its passengers. According to fellow travellers, the man appeared agitated and seemed to be under the influence of alcohol or another substance, although this has not been officially confirmed.
Passengers left waiting
The aircraft remains at Jerez while awaiting permission to resume its journey to Madrid, and the diversion is causing concern among passengers with connecting flights to catch. As yet, neither Binter nor the airport authorities have officially communicated the specific circumstances of the incident.
