It is understood that he was denied boarding for being "disruptive and aggressive" which triggered the chaotic scenes.
The shocking confrontation saw the Easyjet flight from Manchester to Chania, Greece, delayed from taking off.
The man, who was not yet identified and wore a grey jacket, shouted abuse at Easyjet employees including homophobic slurs.
"You're a ripoff artist, you're a f***** - I'll knock your f***ing hat off", the man threatened as a flight attendant was seen trying to calm him down.

The irate man threatened another attendant with a "f***ing scrap" after being denied entry.
The attendant calmly asks him: "Can you stay here for a few minutes, sir?"
But this appears to rattle the man even more, as he responds: "You f***ing little k***head, I've paid for the flight."
The angry passenger then bemoans how he has paid "three, four hundred quid" for the flight only to not be barred.
The video then cuts to a further confrontation with airport staff as the man gets more and more aggressive.
It is then that an airport worker in a hi-vis vest swings at his face with what appears to be a slap.
The man in the cap looked stunned as his bravado faded for a few moments.

He loudly exclaimed how he had been hit and called the staff worker a "k***head and "f*****".
Airport staff were then seen ushering the man in the hi-vis away as they held back the angry passenger from retaliating.
He was heard saying: "What the f***, what are you going to do to me for getting on the flight, you're going to hit me.
"You just f***ing have."
The clip then cuts to a moment later, when the furious holidaymaker turns his attention to the other passengers on the bridge who have still not been let on the flight.
The enraged man turned his fury on another person, saying: "Who are you f***ing staring at it you f***ing little prick.
"Keep staring at me. Who are you staying shush to?"
Staff then try to calm down the situation as he continues to have a go at multiple people off camera.
He repeatedly lunges towards someone who isn't being shown in the recording in an aggressive manner.
It is unclear if he actually swings any punches at them or was trying to knock anything out of their hands.
But he continued to hurl abuse and shout derogatory insults during his rant.
The incident took place on August 20 last year.
Cops were quickly summoned to the scene at the aircraft and the customer was not allowed to travel.
The Sun have contacted Manchester Airport and Greater Manchester Police for comment.
An easyJet spokeswoman told The Sun: 'This flight on 20 August last year from Manchester to Chania was attended by police before departure due to a passenger behaving disruptively during boarding. Police attended the aircraft and the customer was not allowed to travel.
'easyJet's cabin crew are trained to assess all situations and act quickly to ensure that the safety of the flight is not compromised at any time. We will not tolerate disruptive or aggressive behaviour towards our crew or other passengers.
'The safety and wellbeing of our passengers, crew and ground agents is always easyJet's priority.'

British drug mules warned of "excellent technology" used to snare traffickers
The Foreign Office has issued a fresh warning to British criminals vying to smuggle drugs through Germany and said the crime carries "severe penalties" British drug mules vying to smuggle their illegal wares through Europe have been warned officials have "excellent technology" to snare traffickers. The Foreign Office has updated its official guidance about carrying illegal drugs through Germany. It comes after it emerged a young mum was currently holed-up in a German prison cell accused of smuggling cannabis in her bags on a flight from Thailand. Glamorous Cameron Bradford, 21, from Knebworth, Herts, was detained at Munich Airport on April 21 as she tried to collect her luggage. In an updated warning on the FCDO website to Brits travelling in Germany, officials say: "Illegal drugs, including cannabis, carry severe penalties. You should expect a long jail sentence and heavy fines for possessing, using or smuggling illegal drugs, including when transiting through the airport. Airports in Germany have excellent technology and security for detecting illegal items. This is also used to scan the baggage of transiting passengers." Cameron's arrest comes amid a significant spike in Brits being caught trafficking drugs from Thailand and across the globe. A wave of arrests has exposed a disturbing and fast-growing trend: ordinary Brits - some young, some elderly, many with no previous criminal history - being allegedly swept up into international drug trafficking. In just the past few months, UK citizens have been detained in Spain, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Germany, Indonesia, Chile, and the United States, often while carrying vast quantities of drugs in their luggage. Behind the arrests lies a chilling pattern: criminal networks are deliberately recruiting British nationals who fly under the radar, blending in as unsuspecting tourists or weary retirees. With widespread access to global travel and no prior convictions, many are viewed by traffickers as ideal mules. Authorities say many Brits are being manipulated online - conned into transporting "gifts" or "business packages" by scammers, or coaxed into smuggling by the lure of fast cash, often after falling into financial hardship or debt. Chris Hobbs, a former special branch officer who helped lead Operation Airbridge in 2002 - a high-profile UK crackdown on Jamaican cocaine mules - described the current trend as deeply disturbing. 'There's clearly been a shocking increase in the number of Brits being caught, which could be a result of the authorities profiling passengers differently," Hobbs told the Mirror. "We see criminals befriending young girls on a romantic basis and then asking them to do a favour. I don't know whether that's what's happening in Thailand or whether it's just the case that they are being persuaded with easy money. 'But if you talk to Border Force officers, they will also say that they're under-resourced and they know that there's a lot getting past them that they're not equipped to deal with. Catching cannabis traffickers in the UK is not a high priority, so those being caught really could just be the tip of the iceberg." Among those to be arrested in recent weeks is bowls-loving OAP William 'Billy Boy' Eastment who was held at Santiago International Airport in Chile on May 18 after customs officers discovered over 5 kgs of methamphetamine concealed in the false bottom of a suitcase. The 79-year-old British pensioner had arrived on a flight from Cancun, Mexico. Authorities said the suitcase was flagged during routine screening, and the drugs were found after a secret compartment was opened. Meanwhile Jon Collyer, 38, and Lisa Stocker, 39, were arrested at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport in February after customs officers allegedly found 994 grams of cocaine in their possession. Authorities said the drugs were concealed inside their luggage. It is alleged that Collyer and Stocker were caught with 17 packages of cocaine, with a value of roughly £300,000, hidden in Angel Delight packets. Phineas Float, 31, was detained several days later and is alleged to have been the intended recipient of the drugs. Elsewhere former flight attendant Charlotte Lee May, a 21-year-old from Coulsdon in south London, was arrested in May at Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo, Sri Lanka, after police allegedly discovered 46 kgs of synthetic cannabis, known locally as "Kush," in her luggage. May had reportedly arrived alone and was intercepted during a routine customs inspection. Authorities estimate the street value of the drugs to be around £1.2 million. Bella May Culley, an 18-year-old from Billingham, Teesside, is facing up to nine months in pre-trial detention in Georgia after being arrested in the capital, Tbilisi, on suspicion of drug trafficking. She was charged with importing 12kg of marijuana and 2kg of hashish into the country. Before her arrest, Culley had been reported missing while believed to be holidaying in Thailand, prompting an international search effort. However, she was later found in Georgia, where she was detained by authorities. During a recent pre-trial hearing, Culley informed the court she is pregnant.

Shock moment two Brit women brawl on Tenerife street as leering yobs spur them on sparking local fury on holiday island
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment two unruly Brits start fighting each other in Tenerife while getting cheered on by immature yobs. The violent footage taken in Playa de Las Américas sparked fury among locals on the popular holiday island. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Two Brit women were filmed beating each other up in Tenerife Credit: Instagram 3 The two Brits were cheered on by yobbish bystanders Credit: Instagram 3 They sparked outrage among locals Credit: Instagram At the start of the astonishing footage, one of the women dressed in white is seen lunging at another tourist. She brazenly tackles her face-first onto the ground. Dressed in a black and red dress, the blonde woman appears to try to fight back. But she is seemingly overwhelmed by the black-haired Brit, who then starts to pummel the tourist as she tries to defend herself on the floor. After taking several hard blows, the helpless woman then attempts to get up. She instead throws herself on another part of the street before she is hit again. At this point, the cheering yobs stop the violence and separate the brawling pair. They pull apart the two Brits, who appear to be still holding each other by the hair. The blonde woman then eventually escapes a brutal headlock as the two stand up. She is pulled away to safety by another bystander and she then stumbles off. Fuming holidaymakers foil fellow Brits sneaky plans to secure sunbeds seven hours before hotel pool opens The footage has highlighted growing concerns over tourist behaviour in Tenerife, Spain's largest Canary Island. A social media account that regularly posts reports of misbehaving Brits visiting the holiday hotspot shared the footage to outraged locals. The brutal fight was recorded opposite Las Verónicas - the main area for nightclubs in Playa de Las Américas. The pair were then subject to a barrage of criticism from local residents. Social media users poured out in the comments, branding the tourists as "a disgrace". One user said: "This is becoming unbearable." Another appalled viewer said: "What a disgrace, and it's only getting worse." This latest example of poor tourist behaviour has intensified calls for more police presence and tighter regulation of nightlife activity in Tenerife. In May, thousands of fed-up locals flooded the streets of the Canary Islands in Spain's third wave of protests against overtourism this year. Locals across the Canaries cried that their home had been turned into a playground for tourists. Demonstrations took place across the Spanish archipelago's islands, including Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. Holidaymakers awkwardly watched from the sidelines as the marches progressed through towns. In Santa Cruz alone, Tenerife's capital, around 7,000 people were estimated to be on the streets by Spanish security forces.
