A drunk passenger onboard a Virgin Australia plane has been reportedly detained for causing mid-flight emergency.
The plane on way to Bali from Brisbane, believed to have been hi-jacked, was forced to land in Bali after the passenger attempted to enter the cockpit following which the pilot then broadcasted a hijack code over flight communication systems.
Bali's police chief told local media that a Virgin flight from Brisbane is currently sat on the tarmac at Denpasar Airport, News.com.au reported.
While Virgin Australia confirmed reports that a plane had been turned around mid-flight, it denied reports of a hijacking.
