Passenger who tried to open plane door thought it was a toilet

James Gray says airline staff accused him of trying to open the door of the plane on an Edinburgh to Amsterdam to flight

A passenger who was banned for trying to open a jet door at 30,000ft claims he mistook it for the toilet.

James Gray was fined 600 euros by KLM after the incident on an Edinburgh to Amsterdam to flight, and was told he can't fly with them for five years.

He says airline staff accused him of trying to open the door of the plane, but he insists he only touched the handle after confusing it for the door to the toilet.

Mr Gray, from Alloa, was escorted from the KLM flight from Edinburgh to Amsterdam the moment it touched down at Schiphol Airport.

He was whisked away to a nearby detention centre where he spent the night before he was fined £434 (600 euros).
