A man has been charged in connection with a disturbance on board a flight to Glasgow on Sunday.
Police boarded the aircraft, which had travelled from Luton, after it landed in Glasgow at 8.20am and arrested a 41-year-old man.
Footage appears to show a man on an aircraft shouting “death to America, death to Trump” and “Allahu Akbar” – an Arabic phrase meaning “God is great”.
He is then tackled by two men and pinned to the floor of the plane.
Police Scotland said the footage was being assessed by counter-terrorism officers. The man is due to appear in Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday.
A spokesperson said: A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called to a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving into Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, July 27, 2025.
“A 41-year-old man has been arrested and charged. He is due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday, 28 July, 2025.
