Initial reports said the Boeing 737 had been hijacked and it was boarded by Indonesian troops after landing.

Virgin said the incident on the flight from Brisbane was a “misunderstanding” and the detained passenger was drunk.

Fears of a hijacking were caused after the pilot sent a distress signal to airport authorities.
