A 41-year-old man has been arrested after police were called to meet an easyJet flight at Glasgow Airport this morning, following reports of disruptive behaviour onboard.
Flight EZY609, an Airbus A319 (registration G-EZAN), was en route from London Luton Airport when pilots issued a 7700 emergency squawk code, signalling an in-flight emergency just minutes before landing in Glasgow around 8.20am.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft was directed to a remote stand, where officers from Police Scotland boarded the plane and removed the passenger.
