Man arrested after getting on wrong flight in Manchester

Greater Manchester Police arrested a man at Manchester Airport on Friday after he boarded an easyJet plane without the correct documents.

Flight EZY2127 was due to depart for the Italian cosmopolitan city of Milan around 19:00 on Friday, but all passengers and luggage had to be taken off the flight after the incident. 

easyJet said its flight was subject to "additional security checks... due to a passenger incorrectly boarding the flight. - Safety and security is our highest priority, and so we will now work with our ground partner at Manchester Airport to understand how he was able to board the flight."

GMP advised that a man in his 20s had been arrested on suspicion of hiding for the purpose of being carried in an aircraft without consent and intentionally or recklessly causing public nuisance."
