A Wizz Air Airbus A320 operating a Basel-to-Tuzla service diverted to Budapest on 10 August after a passenger reportedly lit a cigarette in the cabin, triggering a safety alarm. Police boarded the aircraft in Budapest, removed the passenger for questioning and cleared the plane before it continued to Tuzla several hours late.
The aircraft was over the Zagreb area when crew decided to divert, and the unscheduled landing in Budapest disrupted a flight that had been due into Tuzla at about 19:20. Passengers arrived around 22:05, nearly three hours behind schedule.
The incident was handled as an operational safety event rather than a technical fault, with checks completed in Budapest before departure resumed. No official airline or airport statement was included in the available report, so the details remain based on a single media account of the diversion and subsequent police action.
