THIS is the shocking moment a man throws a tantrum and runs across the roof of an airplane at a Spanish holiday hotspot, causing a two hour long delay.
The traveller climbed onto the roof of the aircraft before being spotted by fellow passengers waiting in the terminal.
The wild video footage taken at the Manises Airport in Valencia, shows the man toying with ground staff, even taking a drink from his bag.
He can be seen shouting at airport staff while tapping his chest and making gestures as if to dance on the roof of the plane.
The man then goes into his black backpack – which he’d also carried up to his perch – where he appears to take out a can and crack it open to drink.
After taking a long swig, he aggressively throws the drink to the ground before taking off a white windbreaker and throwing it to the ground as well.
It is unclear if he was aiming at the airport staff below.
The footage then shows him continuing to mock staff on the ground, where he runs along the length of the plane twice.
He puts his hands over his ears in a classic tantrum move while still taunting workers below.
The man’s tarmac tantrum caused the flight destined for Amsterdam on Saturday to be delayed by two hours.
The cause of his bizarre outburst on top of the Vueling plane remains unknown.
Local media outlet Las Provincias reported that the man remained on top of the aircraft for at least 10 minutes before the Civil Guard convinced him to get down.
In an anti-climactic end to his dramatic show, the man descended by the boarding stairs connected to the side of the plane.
The Civil Guard have confirmed he was not carrying any weapons in his backpack.
Medical assistance was also called to the scene.
According to Las Provincias, the man was reported by the Civil Guard for violating air safety regulations.
Several crew members and other passengers filmed the incident as officers attempted to coax the man from the plane.
According to Spanish Airports and Air Navigation (Aena), he posed no risk to passenger safety and did not affect air traffic.
The plane underwent a thorough inspection following the ordeal, with a Vueling maintenance crew examining the upper fuselage of the aircraft to rule out any damage.
Once the technical checks were completed, the flight was authorised to resume as normal.
Vueling have been contacted for comment.
