This is the moment police board a Ryanair flight to remove three 'drunk' holidaymakers after the pilot turned the plane around and flew back to Edinburgh.
In the dramatic footage, an officer can be seen asking the sheepish-looking men to identify their hand luggage after the early end to flight RK5593 before taking it out of the overhead holders.
The flight was supposed to reach Lanzarote just before 7pm local time yesterday but ended up turning around back to its starting point when it was over South Ayrshire.
A passenger on board the holiday plane told respected daily La Voz de Lanzarote, which published the footage: 'We were supposed to leave at 2.15pm but took off an hour and a half late.
