Monarch Airlines got rid of an unruly passenger by leaving him on a tiny island off the African coast.

The plane was heading to the Spanish island of Tenerife from northern England when the man began swearing at the crew for refusing to give him more alcohol, reports the Daily Mail and Reuters.

The pilot then diverted the plane to the Portuguese island of Porto Santo. It is only 10 miles long and four miles wide.

Police were waiting for the passenger at the airport. He is scheduled to make a court appearance in Portugal in January, the Daily Mail says.
