A Jet2 spokesperson said: “Flight LS881 diverted to Barcelona so that police could offload some disruptive passengers.

“The aircraft continued to its destination after a delay.

“As a family-friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour.”

It is understood that the flight reached Manchester airport some three hours after it was scheduled to land.
