Jet2.com has billed two brothers more than £50,000 and banned them from from flying with the airline for life after their "aggressive and violent behaviour" led to a flight being diverted last week.

New routes include Rome, Malta, Chambery and Prague

Alfie and Kenneth Springthorpe, from Sidcup, reportedly displayed a "catalogue of appalling behaviour" onboard the aircraft, which included causing damage, "unacceptable levels of aggression" and allegations of physical violence.
 
Crew were forced to divert the Stansted-Heraklion service to Corfu so police could offload them. This led to a delay of nearly four hours before the flight continued to Crete.

The delay meant crew ran out of operating hours and were therefore they were unable to operate the flight back from Crete to Stansted the same day.
