A Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Tunis was diverted after severe turbulence during a storm caused panic among passengers as the aircraft approached Tunis-Carthage Airport.
Video recorded by passengers and shared on social media shows the aircraft shaking violently as screams and shouts are heard inside the cabin.
The incident occurred on September 10 during the final stage of the flight, as the aircraft was approaching Tunis-Carthage Airport.
According to reports cited in the source, weather conditions in the area had deteriorated because of a storm.
The captain made more than one attempt to approach the runway but was forced to abort the landings and climb again.
The repeated attempts increased anxiety among passengers as the aircraft remained in difficult weather conditions for some time.
The crew eventually decided to divert the flight to Enfidha-Hammamet Airport.
Flight-tracking data cited in the source showed that the aircraft later departed Enfidha and arrived in Tunis.
No reports of serious injuries from the incident have emerged so far.
