A FLIGHT to Glasgow from Turkey had to be diverted to remove an aggressive passenger. 

Airline Jet2 confirmed a plane from Bodrum had to stop in Manchester yesterday due to a rowdy and disruptive traveller. 

Cops were called to Manchester Airport after the alarm was raised and the passenger was taken off the flight.

A spokesman for Jet2 said: “Our Glasgow to Bodrum flight diverted to Manchester Airport on 21st September because of the aggressive behaviour of a disruptive passenger.

Glasgow Times:

"We would like to thank our highly-trained crew, as well as the Greater Manchester Police who offloaded the passenger, for their handling of this situation.

“As a family-friendly airline, we will not tolerate this type of behaviour. Customers travelling for their well-deserved holidays, as well as hard-working colleagues doing their jobs, should not be subjected to this behaviour under any circumstances.
