Shocking footage has captured the moment a woman onboard a Jet2 flight shouts in a worker's face before being marched off the plane by armed police.
The irate woman, who is believed to be from West Yorkshire, was caught on video pacing up and down the plane and launching a foul-mouthed rant at staff on board the Jet2 flight from Manchester to Turkey.
Her antics caused the plane to divert and land in Vienna, Austria, and it was here that she was booted off the plane after a confrontation with staff.

It has been reported that the woman also slapped other passengers on board after becoming "disruptive" on the flight which was subsequently delayed for over an hour, having left Manchester at 9.15am.
The video shows the passenger yelling at staff before being told to "stand back". She then retorts: "I am back. Sort your head out you."
A member of staff then warns the woman "you are not doing yourself any favours", prompting her to reply: You're not doing yourself any favours either. So what have I done? Don't touch me, don't ****ing touch me." She adds: "What have I done? What have I done wrong on this flight, eh? See, you haven't got an answer."
Another video clip shows the woman being escorted off the plane. It is at this point that passengers cheer with one heard shouting: "Wait til you get the bill love." Others can be heard saying "bye bye" with officers seen leading the woman - dressed all in white - off the plane.
A text sent by Jet2 to passengers onboard the flight shortly before 12pm said: "Hello, we are sorry that due to the disruptive behaviour of a fellow passenger, your flight has been diverted to Vienna. We are working on a situation to get you on your way as soon as possible."
The flight arrived at its original destination, Antalya, just after 3pm - one hour and 15 minutes later than scheduled. A spokesperson for Jet2 confirmed that flight LS895 diverted to Vienna "so that a disruptive passenger could be offloaded. As a family friendly airline, we take a zero tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour," they said.
