Police boarded a plane and escorted a man onto the Tarmac after flight attendants found him smoking in the toilets. The man was removed in front of passengers after the Ryanair flight from Palma landed in the UK.
The passenger was escorted to the ground by two police officers before the rest of the passengers were told they were free to leave the plane.
One passenger told the Manchester Evening News: "It was literally about 20 minutes after take-off. One of the flight attendants could smell smoke coming from the toilet. They took all his details and then announced it to the whole plane.
