Humiliating video captures the moment two “rowdy” passengers were led off a UK flight by cops — to the raucous cheers and laughter of others onboard.
The allegedly drunken duo were captured getting escorted off an easyJet flight from Tenerife to London’s Gatwick early Wednesday after a “rowdy” display, other passengers told the Daily Mail.
“A police officer emptied the passenger’s handbag onto the tarmac and a 1-litre vodka bottle that appeared to be almost empty fell out,” the passenger who filmed the pair told the outlet.
“They were both in a bad way.”
In the clip, one of the rowdy travelers can be seen looking at her phone while the other is holding a can as they are led off the packed flight.
The other passengers erupt into applause and cheers as the rowdy vacationers are finally removed from the aircraft by three Sussex police officers.
An easyJet spokesperson confirmed that the flight “was met by police on arrival due to a passenger behaving disruptively onboard.”
“EasyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time,” the rep said.
The airline noted that while these incidents are “rare,” they “take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behavior onboard.”
“The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority,” the airline added.
