A lad caused a two-hour flight delay after he was escorted off a plane by six cops for allegedly vaping in the toilet.

The 21-year-old was removed after being accused of committing an aviation offence.

Tristan James Walker captured footage of the incident after he claims the toilet smoke alarm was set off.

The incident took place at Edinburgh Airport on a Ryanair plane heading to Alicante, Spain.

According to Tristan, 39, the flight was set to depart at 09:45am, but was allegedly delayed due to staff sickness.

After the alarm sounded, the pilot allegedly informed the 21-year-old he would be removed from the plane.

Tristan said that over six officers boarded the aircraft to remove the man, who was taken into a van.

Police confirmed the 21-year-old was charged in connection with an aviation offence.

The footage was captured on 3 July.

“A young lad in a group happened to set the alarm off for apparently vaping,” Tristan told Luxury Travel Daily.

“The pilot then came out after the air stewardess explained what happened, and then the pilot stated he would be removed from the plane.

“The young lad waited for over six police officers to come on board.

“He was taken off, he was very calm, didn’t argue or anything, no drama.

“We then happened to bump into him on Benidorm’s famous strip and he told us he just got a caution and was banned from Ryanair.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 7.55 am on Thursday, 3 July, 2025 were called to an aircraft at Edinburgh Airport.

“Officers attended, and a 21-year-old man was charged in connection with an aviation offence.

“A report was submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”

Jam Press has contacted Ryanair for comment.
