A 41-YEAR-OLD man has been charged after a disturbance on an easyJet flight from London Luton Airport to Glasgow on Sunday morning.
The easyJet A319 aircraft was flying from London Luton Airport and was only a few minutes from Glasgow Airport when pilots declared an emergency.
Flight EZY609 was met by police when it landed, who boarded the aircraft and removed the passenger due to their behaviour onboard.
Videos then started circulating online appearing to show a man shouting that he allegedly had a bomb on the flight.
In the clip, he can also be reportedly heard shouting "death to America" and "death to Trump" before he repeatedly shouts “Allahu Akbar."
Passengers can then be seen tackling the man to the ground in the video that allegedly shows the incident.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called to a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving into Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025.
“A 41-year-old man has been arrested and charged.
"He is due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday, 28 July, 2025. We believe the incident to be contained and that nobody else was involved. We are aware of videos circulating online and these are being assessed by counter terrorism officers.”
An easyJet spokesperson said previously: "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.
