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.'

A family friend said Cameron had travelled to Thailand on her own and posted a photo of the ocean on her Facebook account just days before her arrest. Sources say she could face at least four months in a German prison while authorities investigate the origin of the drugs.

It's also interpreted differently across all of Germany's 16 federal states. And crucially the unauthorised import of cannabis, even for personal use, is strictly illegal and carries a hefty five years in prison. It comes after a British couple claiming to be tourists from Thailand were busted with more than 33kg of cannabis in their suitcases at a Spanish airport.

The man and woman, aged 33 and 34, were stopped before reaching customs, with officials later discovering vacuum-packed marijuana and no clothes or personal belongings in their luggage. Cops said the pair will not yet be named but were arrested late on May 5 and hauled to court the next day. Their court appearance, which led to their remand in prison, took place behind-closed-doors as is normal in Spain where only trials are held in public.

Amazon warns illegal streamers of hidden danger on ‘dodgy' Fire Sticks used to watch Premier League games on the cheap
AMAZON has warned Fire Stick users of the hidden dangers when using dodgy apps to illegally stream Premier League games and more on the cheap. A new report has pointed the finger at tech giants like Amazon for being "both friend and foe" in solving rampant piracy that's costing TV firms billions. Advertisement 2 Illegal streaming services often appear in adverts on social media Credit: Getty 2 Sky says illegal streaming is a 'serious issue' costing the industry billions Credit: Getty / AFP More than 50 per cent of Brits watching illegal streams on a physical device were found to be doing so via an Amazon product, according to research by Enders Analysis. Big broadcasters like Sky say Amazon isn't doing enough to address the issue. Nick Herm, Sky Group's chief operating officer said the report "highlights the significant scale and impact of piracy, particularly on premium live sport". "It's a serious issue for anyone who invests in creating and delivering world-class content," he explained to the Advertisement Read more about streaming "We'd like to see faster, more joined-up action from major tech platforms and government to address the problem and help protect the UK creative industries." Amazon told The Sun it has made changes to its Fire TV devices to make it more difficult to stream pirated content. And it has on-device warnings to alert customers of the risks associated with sideloaded apps which are downloaded from outside the approved Amazon Appstore. Those risks are largely concerned with fraud. Advertisement Most read in Tech Exclusive There have been numerous cases of people looking to One victim recently revealed to The Sun how Major Illegal Streaming Network Shut Down Across Europe Fortunately, his bank flagged it as fraud and stopped the payment, but not everyone has been so lucky. 'Pirated content violates our policies regarding intellectual property rights, and compromises the security and privacy of our customers," a spokesperson said. Advertisement "We work with industry partners and relevant authorities to combat piracy and protect customers from the risks associated with pirated content. "Our Appstore prohibits apps that infringe upon the rights of third parties and we warn customers of the risks associated with installing or using apps from unknown sources.'

They can slow down your broadband connection and affect other gadgets around your home too. "Illegal streaming isn't just unsafe, it's actively harmful," said Liz Bales, CEO of the British Association for Screen Entertainment (BASE), and The Industry Trust for IP. "Devices used for piracy are often infected with hidden malware, leading to crashing apps, severely disrupted performance, and compromised home networks.
