Shocking video footage has emerged of the moment a man was dragged off a plane that departed Glasgow Airport on Tuesday afternoon after it was forced to make an unexpected stop hours from its destination.
The Jet2 flight set off from Scotland at around 2.40pm on May 2 and was headed to Dalaman, in Turkey, but was swiftly diverted to Sofia, in Bulgaria, after a drunken passenger allegedly abused cabin crew and caused chaos.
Footage shared with Glasgow Live shows the man being dragged off the plane and he let out a scream as he was escorted off the plane by his arms and legs.
A fellow passenger, who was travelling with his family, described the scenes as "scary" and said the man was causing "danger."
He said: "A passenger was out of their head, he was drunk and being abusive towards the cabin crew. He started causing danger.
"There was a load of commotion and the crew were visibly shaken up. The diversion caused a rapid descent into Sofia airport, it was scary.
"The flight was diverted and he got carried off the plane. He ended up on the tarmac before being taken away.
"The Jet2 staff conducted themselves very well."
Jet2 confirmed the flight to Dalaman arrived two hours later than scheduled due to the incident. It's believed the flight from Sofia left at around 7.57pm UK time.
Phil Ward, Managing Director of Jet2.com, said: "He behaved in a disgraceful fashion, causing unnecessary distress to others onboard.
"As a family friendly airline we take a zero tolerance approach to this behaviour, and we would like to apologise to other customers and our colleagues for any upset caused.
"Our highly-trained crew, along with a number of other customers, acted to restrain him and we would like to sincerely thank them for their actions,
