Video: Jamaica Bound Flight Diverts To Bermuda
[Updated with video] Thomson Airways flight 82 has just diverted to Bermuda, touching down at around 5.30pm today [June 23], with multiple emergency personnel on scene as the plane landed.
According to online flight data, the flight left London and was heading to Montego Bay, Jamaica when it diverted to Bermuda. The plane, and emergency personnel, remain on scene as of this writing, and we will update as able.
Update 6.09pm: Why exactly the plane diverted here still remains unclear, however we have seen police officers board the flight.
Update 6.23pm: The police were seen exiting the airplane, as were a few more people — who appeared to be passengers — with one of them getting into an ambulance.
Update 9.23pm: Video added below. In addition, the police confirmed that the flight diversion was for medical reasons, and the passenger requiring medical assessment was taken to the hospital.
Hear we go again!!

American, Delta, B.O.A.C. need to do same.
Must be the Americas Cup.
Have a laugh folks.
Shalom.
Yay the jamaicans get 2 see bermy
You assume Jamaicans are on board?
It was a joke
would you say the same about the English and Canadians too.
This flight again, this was the same airlines that one guy was acting up on not to long ago.
What else is happening?…this is the surface…what is underlying?…this could well be a pre arranged ploy to remove whatever from wherever…trash,clothing,baggage left unsecured,landing gear maint.,The odds are too much against this happening as many times…the she way or similar…could this be contrived?
What are you smoking?!!?
Emergency ganja delivery
These flights are full of working class folk on cheap package holidays and they like to get hammered on the plane.
Full of smart people who are not going to Bermuda to get ripped off and made to feel like they are an inconvenience as they are handed their $15 cocktail. Its all inclusive in Jamaica.
James..F*** you you **** my mum was seriously ill not drunk so go f*** your self you muggy **** get your fact tight you thick piece of s***
We see once again another Thomson Airways flight divert to Bermuda. They fly regular flights overhead onward to other Caribbean destination. So, once again, I ask the Government of the day,(as I’d done for countless years prior)why don’t we see flights stopping off here to disembark some of them passenger that wish to fly less expensive flights to Bda. also this will permit locals to travel directly to other destinations that are to our South? Why must B.A. have this monopoly?
It should / would be a win – win opportunity for all locals as well as other parties…
It was most likely a medical diversion. Pilots don’t divert to any airport other than the intended destination unless it’s an emergency. There’s no “ploy”!
This happens to be my family on board (English) and one of them has been taken seriously unwell, and now 2 of my family members and their 2 young children are stranded in Bermuda with no luggage, nowhere to stay and are being asked to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get to Jamaica. This person was NOT drunk, they are seriously unwell.
