This is the hilarious moment a pilot channelled his 'inner headteacher' as he told off badly-behaved passengers on a family flight to Tenerife. 

The TUI captain was forced to lay down the ground rules after some passengers 'pushed the bounds of what was tolerable' in the departure lounge at Glasgow Airport. 

He warned people 'not to let it get out of control' on the flight otherwise they could be picked up by Spanish authorities once the plane landed in Tenerife. 

The pilot said over the plane's speaker system: 'The reason I’m standing here is that I need to bring a couple of things to your attention because I’ve been advised that there are some people on the airplane whose behaviour in the departure lounge has been getting towards the limit of what’s tolerable.

'So here are the ground rules: Please be very very careful as to how you behave on this flight. 

'First and foremost this is a family holiday flight so I do not tolerate any rowdy behaviour on the aircraft.

'It is just not fair to everybody else on board and it is certainly not fair on my crew. 

'So for those of you who have had a few scoops, great fantastic you are on holiday, that’s what it is all about or part of it - do not let it get out of control on this airplane. 

'I have a bunch of cabin crew today who are skilled professionals – you will see them serving drinks, meals and duty-free and so on but actually they are a critical part of the safety of the airplane and they are my colleagues and you will treat them with respect please. 

'If they ask you to do something, they are doing it because I have asked them to tell you to do it.' 

He added: 'I’m sorry I have had to lay down the ground rules but there are a number of people on board the airplane whose behaviour is approaching the limits of what is acceptable. 

'You have now been warned.' 

A video of the pilot's speech was shared on TikTok and the clip has now been viewed nearly one million times. 

Craig Roy-Sutherland responded: 'We were on this flight. Captain was an absolute legend. His headmaster speech thankfully worked.' 

Another user said: 'He’s not mad, he is just disappointed.'

A third added: 'Love his shout out to the cabin crew. It's nice to see a captain showing and asking for the respect they deserve.' 

A fourth said: 'Well done to that Captain. The behaviour of some people on flights now is terrifying.' 

MailOnline has contacted TUI for comment. 

The incident comes after another TUI flight from Glasgow was forced to make an emergency landing after a 'drunken passenger' who 'refused to hand over his bottle of gin' caused chaos mid-air.

The flight to Antalya, Turkey in May was diverted less than 45 minutes into the flight and made an unscheduled landing at Newcastle International Airport.

It came after a passenger, who was said to be intoxicated, allegedly assaulted a member of cabin crew.

Police officers came on board the TUI TOM778 flight at Newcastle and removed him from the plane.

Footage shows the man being dragged off the flight as hundreds of frustrated passengers watch on.

As a result of the delay, holidaymakers arrived at their destination more than five hours later than planned.

A passenger said: 'They were seen drunk while boarding the plane. He refused to surrender his own bottle of gin and became verbally abusive.'

'An announcement was made 45 minutes after take-off that we were diverting with reason of unruly passenger.

'It took a further 45 minutes before we arrived at Newcastle, at around 7pm.'

'Two police officers boarded the plane and handcuffed him but he became unsettled so two more officers came on board.

'His partner was also removed from the plane to a chorus of boos as she gave everyone the middle finger.'

'There were further delays in removing his bags from the hold. Cabin crew were replaced due to the serious event and exceeding hours.'

'The plane was also refuelled having burnt off excess to allow safe emergency landing.'

After waiting on the tarmac for five hours, the passenger added: 'It was clearly distressing for the children on board and frustrating for all. The captain visited every passenger personally in the aftermath to answer questions.'

'While a scenario crew were prepared for, there was slow information in whether we would proceed or disembark at Newcastle. They couldn't let us off the plane due to border control issues.'

A spokesperson for TUI said at the time: 'We’d like to apologise to customers on TOM778 from Glasgow to Antalya, who were required to divert to Newcastle due to a disruptive passenger on board the flight.

'Our goal is to ensure customers have the best possible flight experience, so this is not the way we wanted their holiday to start.

'The safety of our customers and crew is our number one priority and any unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated.

'The customer involved was offloaded from the aircraft and the flight was able to continue its journey.

'We have offered customers a gesture of goodwill in light of this disruption to the start of their holiday and to thank them for their patience and understanding.'
