The Glasgow Times understands that an EasyJet service from Glasgow to London Gatwick was approaching the runway when it suddenly turned back around and the pilot announced there has been a problem.
Upon arriving at the gate, a man was removed from the plane and taken away by police.
A passenger told the Glasgow Times: “Everyone thought we were taking off and the pilot announced there had been a problem then the plane was driven back to the gate.
“There was a police van on the tarmac with half a dozen officers waiting for him when we got there. They wheeled out the boarding steps and got him off.
“People at the front of the plane were clapping as he was being placed into the van.”
The flight eventually departed at 3.29pm, 49 minutes after it was originally scheduled to.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 2.50pm on Saturday, September 19, 2026, we received a report of a disruptive passenger on a flight that had departed from Glasgow Airport.
“Officers attended but no complaints were made.”
EasyJet and Glasgow Airport have been contacted for comment.
