What happens in Turbulence 2: Fear of Flying from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

A group of travelers celebrate conquering their fear of flying by boarding TransContinental Airlines’ Boeing 747-200 for TransCon Flight 110, a long-haul hop that circles around Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. The mood in the cabin shifts from relieved to tense as the jet cuts through the sky, until a Czech terrorist seizes the opportunity and hijacks the flight, unveiling a toxin stored in the cargo hold and a detonator he brandishes to intimidate the crew. He forces himself into the cockpit and makes a chilling demand: land at Seattle or a nearby airport, though dreadful weather over Seattle makes that impossible for the moment. The captain pleads for patience, offering the hijacker a choice between waiting out the storm or detonating the device.
