WestJet emergency landing at Kelowna International Airport, British Columbia, Canada.

Tense moments in the skies above Kelowna on Saturday as the pilot of a WestJet flight makes an emergency landing.

Police met the plane on the tarmac at Kelowna International Airport just after 9:00 am after getting reports of an unruly passenger.

"There was a passenger behaving strangely; he seemed to be quite agitated and he thought he had either lost or someone had stolen his money," says Airport spokesperson Jenelle Hynes.

Hynes adds the passenger refused to sit in his seat and was being very loud.

"He must have been fairly vocal in order to cause so much concern so, at that point, the pilot chose to divert."

Mounties interviewed the man after taking him off the plane and searched his luggage.

They later allowed him to book another flight out of town.

The diverted plane was able to take off and resume its trip to Vancouver from Toronto shortly after landing.

There is no word on who the man involved in the incident is or whether he will face charges.
