A video of the incident has been shared online
A man has been charged after allegedly “shouting about a bomb” on a flight bound for Glasgow.
Easyjet passengers were forced to tackle a suspect on board the EZY609 flight from London Luton on Sunday morning, July 27. Footage circulating on social media shows a male appearing to say on the journey that he wanted to “send a message to Donald Trump”.
In the video, a passenger appeared to be saying: “I’m going to bomb the plane. Death to America. Death to Trump.”
Shocked passengers were seen watching on as a man continued to scream at the top of his voice at the back of the aircraft.
The incident on board the Glasgow-bound flight
One man then got out of his seat and tackled a male passenger to the ground before another pinned him to the ground and said “don’t move”.
It’s understood some passengers were left in tears as a man was handcuffed and removed from the plane by police.
Officers confirmed the male, a 41-year-old man, was hauled off the flight and subsequently arrested after it touched down at Glasgow Airport at around 8.20am on Sunday.
He has since been charged and will appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday.
Online footage is currently being investigated by counter terrorism officers.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called to a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving into Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025.

“He is due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday, 28 July, 2025. We believe the incident to be contained and that nobody else was involved. We are aware of videos circulating online and these are being assessed by counter terrorism officers.”
An easyJet spokesperson added: “Flight EZY609 from Luton to Glasgow this morning was met by police on arrival in Glasgow, where they boarded the aircraft and removed a passenger due to their behaviour onboard.
