Emergency as man produces knife on board Scottish plane
11 April 2008An investigation was under way last night after a Scottish aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing when a man brandished a knife on board.
Reports suggested the man threatened to harm other passengers on the plane, which was leased to a Bangladeshi airline but crewed mainly by staff from the Edinburgh-based low-cost company Flyglobespan.
A spokesman for the airline which also operates from Glasgow and Aberdeen raised concerns over airport security after the man was seen with what police described as a four inch knife during the flight.
