UK charter lands in Athens after mechanical problem

A Thomson Airways charter flight from Manchester in the UK bound for the Greek island of Skiathos was forced to land at Athens International Airport on Tuesday following a mechanical problem with the aircraft's flaps.

No harm came to the 226 crew and passengers aboard the flight, who disembarked before being transferred to another plane to continue their journey.

Forced landing of UK-Greece flight in Bulgaria due to… drunk British teens!

Passengers on a Thomson flight from Manchester to Heraklion on Crete, say that a group of teenagers – many vacationing for the first time without their parents – disrupted an entire flight after a drinking spree with alcohol sneaked aboard in Sprite soft drink bottles. The situation on the plane was so intense that Flight TOM 2570 had to be diverted to Bulgaria.
