A TUI plane was meant to fly from the south of Italy to the United Kingdom.
But an unscheduled diversion meant it took a detour and stopped off in northern Africa.
Passengers had to wait on the runway in Tunisia while the airline delivered a part for another plane.
TUI passengers on board a flight from Italy to the UK found themselves unexpectedly diverted to northern Africa, where they remained on a runway for an hour while the airline delivered a plane part.
Last December, TUI passengers were left stranded in the wrong country overnight, after their plane made an unscheduled stop due to staff scheduling issues.
