The passenger, a woman, had become "disruptive" and "failed to follow crew instructions", the spokeswoman said.

Other plane passengers were disembarked first to "minimise delay to their travel", the spokeswoman said.

A police spokeswoman said the passenger was now talking to police at the airport and was no longer on the plane.
