A SCOTS flight bound for Tenerife was diverted to Bristol after passengers became “disruptive” onboard.
The easyJet plane was travelling from Glasgow to the Canary Island on Saturday when the alarm was raised.
Flight EZY3113 was forced to land at Bristol Airport where it was met by police on arrival.
The airline said two passengers were escorted off the plane after behaving “disruptively” during the flight.
The aircraft then continued and landed on the Canary Island around four hours later.
The return flight to Glasgow was delayed overnight as the cabin crew had reached their maximum permitted flying hours following the incident.
Passengers impacted by the delay were provided accommodation and meals.
An easyJet spokesperson told Glasgow Live: “EasyJet can confirm that flight EZY3113 from Glasgow to Tenerife on 20 April diverted to Bristol where the aircraft was met by police due to two passengers behaving disruptively onboard.
“The flight then continued to Tenerife once the passengers were removed.
“EasyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.

“While such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard, with the safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew always our highest priority.”
In a separate incident, we told how a Celtic fan had to be hauled off an easyJet flight after brawling with cops and airline staff.
The aircraft left Edinburgh on Saturday taking holidaymakers to Antalya in Turkey when the incident unfolded.
