- A Tui flight from Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Manchester, UK, was diverted to Nassau, Bahamas, on Sunday due to a disruptive passenger.
- During the diversion, a component was damaged while dumping fuel, leading to 340 passengers being stranded in Nassau for several days.
- Passengers reported poor accommodation and a lack of Tui staff support, causing significant frustration after the cancellation of their initial flight.
