\n The Glasgow Times understands that an EasyJet<\/a> service from Glasgow to London Gatwick<\/a> was approaching the runway when it suddenly turned back around and the pilot announced there has been a problem.\n<\/p>\n

\n Upon arriving at the gate, a man was removed from the plane and taken away by police<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n 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.\n<\/p>\n

\n “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.\n<\/p>\n

\n “People at the front of the plane were clapping as he was being placed into the van.”\n<\/p>\n

\n The flight eventually departed at 3.29pm, 49 minutes after it was originally scheduled to.\n<\/p>\n

\n A Police Scotland<\/a> spokesperson said: \u201cAround 2.50pm on Saturday, September 19, 2026, we received a report of a disruptive passenger on a flight that had departed from Glasgow Airport<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cOfficers attended but no complaints were made.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
