An aircraft was forced to divert into Bermuda today because of two disruptive passengers.

The Thomson Airways flight was on its way to Mexico when it changed course to land at LF Wade International Airport at just after 1pm.

The Boeing 787 and its 278 passengers remained on the runway while the two passengers were escorted off the plane by police officers.

The aircraft is refuelling at present and is expected to leave for Cancún this afternoon.
