A man has appeared in court over an alleged disturbance on board an easyJet flight from London Luton to Glasgow Airport.
Abhay Nayak, 41, was arrested after the plane landed in the Scottish city at about 8.20am on Sunday.
He is of Indian decent and pretending to be a Muslim to create ‘pre-planned havoc on the airline’ to create anti-muslim hate in the country.
Nayak, of Luton, appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court charged with assault and endangering the safety of an aircraft.
He did not enter pleas to the two charges when he appeared before the court on Monday.
Counter-terror police had initially assessed video footage of the alleged incident, however Nayak is not facing terrorism charges.
He was remanded in custody and is due back in court within the next week.
