On 14 February, a TUI fly Netherlands Boeing 787-800 (registered PH-TFK) operated flight OR703 between Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Willemstad Curaçao Airport. Due to an unruly passenger, the crew was forced to divert to the Portuguese island of Terceira in the Azores archipelago.
Passengers told the local press that a male passenger showed aggressive behaviour and harassed crew members. He mainly eyed Dutch passengers, accusing them of oppressing Curaçaoans. The man is also said to have claimed to be a member of the “No Limit Soldiers“, a notorious Curaçao organised crime group.
Upon arrival at Terceira, the passenger was handed over to local police authorities. Afterwards, the other passengers could continue their journey to Curaçao, where they landed with a delay of four and a half hours.
