Fliers grounded by scorpion on a plane

 An easyjet flight was delayed after a scorpion was found on the plane, leaving passengers stranded.

The journey from Paris to Glasgow was delayed overnight after the creature was seen by a passenger during a flight to France. The plane was held at Charles de Gaulle Airport in the French capital to be fumigated before taking off yesterday. Graham Mckinnon, who was on the flight, said: “[I] overheard someone at the desk ask what was happening and they were told the plane was needing a clean. Then I heard it was a broken chair, before the [easyjet] app released a picture stating it was in fact a scorpion that had been found.”

Passengers were offered overnight accommodation in hotels.
