A UK-bound flight from Tel Aviv had to make an emergency landing in Budapest last night after the plane lost cabin pressure.
The Jet2 flight with 242 passengers, which left Ben Gurion airport at 6.55pm for Manchester got into difficulties two hours into the journey and oxygen masks were released for passengers.
The pilot had to land in Budapest, where passengers were put up in hotels before flying back to Manchester this afternoon.
A passenger on the flight, who did not wish to be named, said: “It was just like watching a film; you just don’t think things happen like that in real life. People were shouting and screaming, because it really was quite scary.
