Police were called after a man on an easyJet flight became abusive towards cabin crew who asked him to switch his mobile phone off.
The flight, from Manchester Airport to Newquay, was about to land on Friday afternoon when a male passenger became rude to staff. There have been rumours that a stag party was responsible for the fracas, but this has not been confirmed by police.
Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed they were called to the airport at 4pm on Friday after the landing incident was reported to them. The incident meant that the turnaround flight back to Manchester - EZY324 - was delayed by more than one hour while police dealt with the passenger in question.
