Other passengers could be heard chanting: 'Cheerio!'
The Jet2 aircraft had taken off from Edinburgh Airport at 8.15am on Friday, March 15 and was due to travel directly to Tenerife South Airport. But the journey was forced to divert to Porto Santo after airline crews were met with a problem onboard. Video footage taken by other passengers has since circulated online, showing a man reportedly under the influence of alcohol.
It shows him stumbling down the aisle of the plane while being addressed by air stewards. Other passengers can be heard chanting "cheerio" as he is escorted by Portuguese officials from the aircraft. As reported in our sister title, Edinburgh Live, one eye-witness said the man was “acting like a f***y” and was “vaping as soon as we took off".Jet2.com has been approached for comment.
