EasyJet flight diverted due to disruptive passengers on board

An easyJet flight from Glasgow to Majorca had to be diverted because of a "disruptive" group of passengers, the airline said.

The group were marched off the plane by police after the jet was diverted to Toulouse, France, on Saturday night.

The plane then carried on to the island's capital Palma, but the delay meant the return flight could not leave on time and passengers had to stay overnight.

An airline spokesman said: "EasyJet can confirm that flight EZY6895 from Glasgow to Palma on 21 May diverted to Toulouse due to the disruptive behaviour of a group of passengers on board.

"The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always our priority and upon landing the passengers were escorted off the aircraft by police. The aircraft then continued to Palma.
