Just landed in Glasgow, been stuck on the runway for almost an hour and now looks like someone has a police welcome party waiting for them when they disembark. Very strange. #Glasgow #easyjet #glasgowairport pic.twitter.com/lxT951i4N3

No. Planes are going in and out again. Airport has reopened. Only a 30 minute runway closure.
