A flight departing from Glasgow was diverted due to "disruptive" passengers. 

EasyJet flight EZY3165 was travelling from Glasgow to Hurghada on April 29, when it was diverted to Heraklion after two passengers were behaving 'disruptively' onboard the aircraft. 

The pair were met by police officers after the aircraft landed in Heraklion. The flight then continued to Hurghada once the passengers were removed. 

Speaking on the incident, a spokesperson for easyJet said: "easyJet can confirm that flight EZY3165 from Glasgow to Hurghada on April 29 diverted to Heraklion where the aircraft was met by police due to two passengers behaving disruptively onboard. The flight then continued to Hurghada once the passengers were removed. 
 
“easyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.
 
“Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority.”
