Shocking video footage shows the moment an easyJet flight from the UK was intercepted by a Spanish fighter plane. The Airbus A319 was travelling from Gatwick to Menorca when it was intercepted mid-air by an F18 fighter jet.
Dramatic footage shows the jet flying next to the passenger plane's orange liveried wing tip, leaving passengers stunned. The video shows the fighter pilot tipping his wings at the easyJet plane - indicating that its pilot should follow.
Flight EZY8303 was escorted to the Spanish island of Menorca where it landed about 30 minutes late. It was then detained on the tarmac at the airport for almost four hours.
