easyJet Scotland flight diverted after ‘passenger attack’ | UK | News

An easyJet flight to Scotland was dramatically diverted after a passenger was allegedly “assaulted” in the air.

The plane traveling from Tenerife to Glasgow was supposed to land on Wednesday, April 29, but had to return to Porto unplanned following reports of disruption to the plane.

Flight EZY3114 was rerouted after passengers began behaving “disturbingly”, prompting the crew to take urgent action. It was understood that a passenger was beaten during the incident.

The plane landed in Porto, where police were waiting on the runway to meet the plane and deal with the situation.

After the intervention, the plane continued its journey and arrived in Glasgow.

A spokesman for easyJet said: “Flight EZY3114 from Tenerife South to Glasgow on 29 April was diverted to Porto, where police met the aircraft due to disruptive behavior by passengers. “The flight then continued to Glasgow.

“easyJet crew were trained to assess all situations and acted quickly and appropriately to ensure the safety of the flight and that everyone on board was never put at risk.

“The safety and well-being of our passengers and crew is always easyJet’s top priority. We take incidents of abusive or threatening behavior very seriously and do not tolerate such behavior on board.”
