Worried pals reveal how missing Brit Jason Taylor mysteriously vanished in airport on way home from Benidorm stag do

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.

However, after three or four minutes, he abruptly left the queue and headed out of the airport building on foot at around 9am.

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.

“Following an issue with his boarding pass, Jason began to queue for assistance, however he left the airport at Alicante on foot at about 9am without speaking to 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 spokeswoman for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: “We are supporting the family of a British man missing in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.”

Anyone with information about Jason is urged to contact the police.
