Well done Cyprus Mail if it was a April Fools Day story (at least fake news) from Turkey?

It certainly reads as a believable news story, Max. But true, or false, THAT is the question?

Cheers- AL :)

Is this false / fake news? According to flight stats, the easyjet flight 8967 from Gatwick to Larnaca was on time and had no problems, apart 21 mins late, 10:26 PM - Fri Mar-31-2017

The article doesn't appear to be an April Fools' or fake (and if it were it would be in poor taste) - this indeed did happen
according to passengers on the plane. Whilst it's not been widely picked up by the news there are a couple of outlets reporting it.

HTH

Cheers
