Children were left in tears after a fight broke out on a Ryanair flight from Edinburgh to Spain’s Canary Islands for the second time in a week.
Shocking footage showed drunken passengers being pulled apart on the flight as around six people scuffled and swore at each other.
Bottles were thrown around the cabin, according to passengers aboard the Sunday flight to Tenerife.
The flight made an emergency landing in Porto, Portugal, where police escorted some passengers off the plane before it continued its journey to Tenerife.
In a clip taken on board, a woman can be seen pointing at men and saying: ‘She up, shut the f*** up’,
The man replied: ‘It was your f***ing man.’

Another woman tried to calm the situation before the first woman responded: ‘Shut up you little c***. Shut the f*** up.’
One brawler ‘would not sit down’, according to a passenger who described it as a ‘riot’ with Fanta and Pringles flying around the cabin, the Scottish Daily Express reported.
They said: ‘We were stuck on a plane with these lunatics. I’ve never seen anything like it.
‘You’re just up there in the hands of the captain. The stewardesses definitely don’t get paid enough to deal with that.’
Witnesses said it was the ‘scariest flight’ they’d ever been, telling the local Canarian Weekly that the situation was ‘out of control’.
‘Big group on the flight, fight broken out, bottles thrown, women almost injured. Get this little s*** off the plane… kids crying, everyone in bits!’ another said on social media.

‘Currently waiting for the police to take some people off the plane then hopefully get to Tenerife. Luckily everyone is okay at the moment.’
A Ryanair spokesperson said: ‘This flight from Edinburgh to Tenerife was diverted to Porto when a small number of passengers became disruptive onboard.
‘Crew called ahead for police assistance and the aircraft was met by local police upon arrival who removed these passengers before this flight continued to Tenerife.
‘This is now a matter for local police.’
Just a few days earlier, Spanish police escorted two men off a plane flying the same route after they started fighting on February 19.
The pair were filmed brawling and spitting at each other onboard a plane in what one passenger described as the ‘worst flight of their life’.

In the clip, one man dressed in blue and another dressed in grey could be seen arguing in the aisle before turning their anger towards the third man.
The man in blue attacks another passenger onboard before the second man screams in his face.
He is later seen attempting to headbutt the man but misses.
A blonde woman tried to antagonize one of the men and later attacked the man in grey before she was held back by the man in blue.
She also tried to attack the third man while shouting in his face.
Staff pleaded with the group to return to their seats and calm down while one man spat onto his hand to the disgust of onlooking passengers.
The man in blue is later seen yelling at the man in grey, telling him: ‘That’s my Mrs you’re speaking to mate’.
