Man arrested as easyJet plane met by police at Glasgow Airport

A FLIGHT was met by police this morning when it landed at Glasgow Airport due to a passenger's behaviour.

The easyJet A319 aircraft (registration G-EZAN) was flying from London Luton airport, and was only a few minutes from GLA Airport when pilots declared an emergency (squawk 7700).

Flight EZY609 was met by police when it landed, who boarded the aircraft and removed the passenger due to their behaviour onboard.

It has been reported that the aircraft was parked at a remote stand of the airport for police to deal with the situation.

Police have confirmed that a 41-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.

The airline said that they acted quickly to control the situation and ensure that the safety of passengers and crew wasn't compromised.

An easyJet spokesperson said: "Flight EZY609 from Luton to Glasgow this morning was met by police on arrival in Glasgow, where they boarded the aircraft and removed a passenger due to their behaviour onboard.

"easyJet's crew are trained to assess all situations and act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other customers is not compromised at any time.

"The safety and well-being of our customers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving in Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025.

“A 41-year-old man was arrested in connection and further enquiries are ongoing.”
