THIS is the moment that Ryanair passengers cheered as a boozed-up lout was hauled off a plane by police.
The yob caused the Scotland-bound flight to be diverted after he became disruptive onboard.

The plane was travelling from Alicante to Glasgow Prestwick on December 28 when the passenger kicked off.
His behaviour became so bad that pilots made the decision to divert to Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport in Spain.
After it landed, cops were waiting on the tarmac to arrest the “unruly passenger”.
Videos circulating online showed how fellow passengers began cheering when the lout was hauled off the plane.
The man then sticks his head back through the aircraft’s doors and waves at the unimpressed travellers.
He then shouts, “Love yous” as one passenger responds, “Happy New Year“.
Another says, ” I hope you enjoy the jail,” as Spanish police officers lead him away.
The video goes on to show the man as he stands with police and Ryanair crew members on the tarmac next to the plane.
The pilot then comes out to join them as police check the passenger’s passport.
As police continue to speak with Ryanair staff, the man is seen taking a few steps back before holding up his middle finger towards the aircraft.
The diversion caused the flight to be delayed before it finally got back on its way to Glasgow.
Ryanair later apologised to passengers for the delay sparked by the incident.
However, staff added that the incident was “beyond Ryanair’s control”.
