Does anyone know why the Jet2 flight from BZN to AKR diverted into Athens? My daughter was on it but they were kept in the dark, (and hotel), for 2 days before the aircraft was fixed. She mentioned a large fuel leak from the left wing, (but she is prone to exaggerating).

Incident: Astraeus B752 near Athens on Jun 11th 2011, fuel leak (http://www.avherald.com/h?article=43e0bc5d&opt=0)

This would appear to be the incident you are referring to, which as you can see is not Jet2 but Astraeus.

My mistake, when we dropped her off I did not see that aircraft around the corner and we were gone when it left. Wonder if Bruce was flying it!:)
