Police received a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving to Glasgow at around 8:20am on Sunday, Police Scotland said.
Officers boarded the plane on its arrival to Glasgow and a 41-year-old man was arrested and remains in custody.
Videos circulating on social media appear to show the man shouting "I'm going to bomb the plane" and "Death to America, death to Trump" as horrified passengers look on.

Police Scotland said the footage was being assessed by counter-terrorism officers.
The force said it believed the incident was contained and that nobody else was involved.
