A flight from Glasgow Airport to Ibiza was forced to divert to Toulouse because of a "disruptive" passenger.

Thomson charter flight FPO 809T sent out an emergency call at about 17:30, two hours into its journey.

Thomson apologised for the inconvenience but said it had a "zero tolerance" policy over such behaviour and its priority was the safety of all those on board.

The flight later continued its journey to Ibiza and landed safely.

The Thomson spokeswoman said: ""We would like to apologise for the inconvenience to our customers on flight FPO 809T from Glasgow to Ibiza operated by a partner airline, which diverted to Toulouse as a result of a disruptive passenger.

"Passenger and crew safety is our priority at all times therefore we, along with our partner airlines, operate a zero tolerance policy to any behaviour of this kind.

"We appreciate the patience and understanding of customers affected by the diversion and we can confirm the flight has now landed in Ibiza. We would like to reassure them that incidents of this nature are extremely rare."
