Majorca's Palma Airport has been closed following a reported runway invasion by passengers on a flight that had to make an emergency landing.
Around 20 people on an Air Maroc flight are said to have left the aircraft after it diverted to the holiday island so a passenger suffering diabetes could be taken off the plane.
The plane at the centre of the drama was heading from Casablanca in Morocco to Istanbul in Turkey.
A companion of the 34-year-old Moroccan man who was taken to Majorca's Son Llatzer Hospital after claiming he was ill and forcing the aircraft to divert to the holiday island, was on Friday night said to have disappeared from the medical centre.
