Man in court after Easyjet flight disturbance | |
(about 8 hours later) | |
The EasyJet flight was heading from Luton to Glasgow Airport | |
A man has appeared in court over a disturbance on an Easyjet flight from Luton to Glasgow Airport on Sunday. | |
Abhay Nayak, 41 was arrested and charged after the flight landed at about 08:20 on Sunday morning. | |
Mr Nayak, of Luton, entered no plea at Paisley Sheriff Court over charges of assault and endangering the safety of an aircraft. | |
Counter-terror police had initially assessed video footage of the incident. Mr Nayak is not facing terrorism charges. | |
A video shared online showed a man on the aircraft who appears to shout "death to America, death to Trump" and "Allahu Akbar" - an Arabic phrase meaning "God is greatest". | |
Two men then tackle him and pin him to the floor of the plane. | |
Mr Nayak was remanded in custody to appear in court again next week. |
