An easyJet flight from Glasgow to Mallorca was forced to divert to Toulouse, France, on Saturday night after a group of 24 passengers became disruptive, the airline has confirmed.
The aircraft, flight EZY6895, landed in Toulouse where police escorted the group off the plane. The flight then continued to Palma, the capital of Mallorca.
Due to the diversion, the crew exceeded their legal operating hours, causing the return flight to Glasgow to be delayed overnight. Affected passengers were provided with accommodation and meals.
An easyJet spokesman stated: 'The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always our priority. EasyJet does not tolerate any abusive or threatening behaviour and will always push for prosecution.' The matter is now in the hands of local police.
