A brawling husband and wife forced a passenger jet into an emergency landing after flight staff feared they could crash the plane. Czech couple Jiri and Katka Bartek began the punch-up in Budapest airport as they rowed over the husband working late. But they continued the fight after take-off from the Hungarian airport for Cyprus, punching and kicking each other and pelting stewardesses with bottles and safety equipment. "They were out of control and the pilot had no choice but to turn the plane around and make an emergency landing," said one stewardess. Airline Malev has banned both passengers from flying with them again and police are quizzing them over public safety charges.
