A COUPLE'S domestic dispute has forced a flight from Sydney to Singapore to make an unscheduled stop in Bali.

The midair fight on Scoot flight TZ1 occurred between a husband and wife and left the woman with a suspected broken arm.

The man was also injured in the altercation.

A third passenger, who was drunk, was thrown off the plane after becoming abusive following the captain's decision to divert the flight to Bali so the woman could be given medical attention.

"The captain offloaded the man because he was deemed to be a threat to the safety of the aircraft and passengers," Scoot said in a statement.

The airline would not give any further information about the passengers involved, including their nationalities.

The Wednesday afternoon flight was scheduled to arrive in Singapore at 6.50pm local time but was delayed by two hours in the wake of the Bali stop.

The budget airline has been flying the Singapore-Sydney route since 2012. It also flies from the Gold Coast and Perth.

It comes just weeks after Australian man Matt Lockley caused a hijack scare on a Virgin Australia flight from Brisbane to Bali.

The 28-year-old plumber was arrested for banging on the cockpit door on the flight to Denpasar. He denied reports that he was drunk, telling police he had taken only Panadol, Voltaren and Coca Cola before the flight.
