CONCERNED pals have revealed details about how missing Brit Jason Taylor vanished in an airport on his way home from a Benidorm stag do.
Jason, 36, was last seen walking out of Alicante airport just before he was supposed to catch a flight back to the UK on Saturday morning.
Gaz Edmunds, one of the eight mates travelling with Jason, explained the Welsh engineer disappeared after difficulties at the gate.
The group had arrived at the airport at 8:30am on Saturday, ready for a 10:30am flight back to Birmingham.
Gaz said: “Jason had lost his phone so had to access his boarding pass from someone else in the group assisting who was already passed the gate.”
But that didn’t work – instead drawing a series of error messages – so Jason went to find assistance.
Gaz continued: “One member of the group waited behind the gate for him to return but this was the last we saw or heard from him.”
After leaving his friends, Jason was captured on CCTV waiting in a queue at the desk – presumably to seek help with his boarding pass.
But after three or four minutes, he suddenly left the line and walked out of the airport building at approximately 9 am – and hasn’t been spotted since.
He was wearing dark shorts, a collared white t-shirt and white trainers, and was wheeling a black suitcase.
Jason’s wife, Maria, 34, said she has “no idea” why her husband left the airport.
She told the Spanish Eye her best guess is that he went “for a walk to clear his head and he’s got lost”.
Maria and other friends and family have flown out to Spain to join the hunt for Jason alongside “loads of locals”.
Gaz said they are all “worried sick” about him – particularly given he is without a phone.
The pal said the disappearance was “very unlike Jason”, and stressed he was not “ill or drunk or incapable”.
Jason’s local police force, Dyfed-Powys, released a statement about the case.
It reads: “Jason was due to fly home from a holiday in Spain on Saturday morning, 29th March 2025.
Jason started queuing for help due to a problem with his boarding pass but unexpectedly departed the Alicante airport on foot around 9 am without interacting with anyone.
“Jason is described as a white male, about five foot 10 inches tall, brown hair on the sides of his head and bald on top.”
A representative from the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office mentioned, “We are assisting the relatives of a British gentleman who is currently unaccounted for in Spain and are liaising with the authorities in the area.”
Anyone with information about Jason is urged to contact the police.
