Flight turns around after passenger tries to force plane door open over Indian Ocean

A flight carrying more than 200 people from Bali, Indonesia to Melbourne, Australia was forced to turn around after a passenger tried to force open a plane door as the aircraft flew over the Indian Ocean, low-cost carrier Jetstar said in a statement Tuesday. “We had an aircraft return to Denpasar (Bali’s airport) last night after a disruptive passenger attempted to open one of the aircraft doors and was abusive to our crew,” the airline said of the incident on Monday night, March 31. The passenger was removed from the aircraft by local authorities in Bali, it added. According to a video circulating on social media, a woman in the back of the aircraft managed to lift the door’s handle before a warning signal alerted the crew, the captain said over the plane speakers. Data from flight tracking site FlightRadar24 showed that the plane turned around over the Indian Ocean about an hour into the flight. Jetstar did not say exactly how many passengers and crew were on the plane traveling from Bali to Melbourne<br/>
