Disruptive passenger forces BA flight diversion

A 24-year-old Glaswegian caused a British Airways flight to be diverted after becoming disruptive.

The Boeing 777, travelling from London Gatwick to Florida, had to divert to Boston where the man was removed from the flight.

Massachusetts State Police said he would appear in court accused of interfering with the flight crew.

British Airways apologised to the other passengers on the flight and said disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.
