Passengers thrown off Goa flight

Monarch Airlines A plane travelling to Goa from the UK had to make an emergency landing when a group of passengers started to cause a disturbance on board.

The Monarch Airlines flight from Manchester had to divert to Budapest, where five men were told to disembark.

The plane, flight number 4502, landed safely in Goa at 0730 GMT, an airline spokesman said.

One of the men is believed to have been taken to hospital in Budapest and the other four re-boarded the plane.

A spokesman for the Foreign Office said it had had no contact with the five on Sunday afternoon.
