The easyJet flight from Bristol Airport to Malaga was delayed by an hour before the pilot was forced to turn the plane around and boot off 30 drunk passengers
An easyJet flight to Malaga was thrown into chaos after a group of rowdy passengers were ejected from the plane. The pilot had to abort take-off due to approximately 30 drunken passengers causing disruption.
Passengers were forced to wait for an hour while the disruptive passengers retrieved their bags from the plane and were escorted back to the terminal by the police. The flight had already been delayed by an hour prior to this incident, causing further inconvenience for passengers. One passenger told BristolLive that the large group of young men were already being loud and disruptive even before boarding the plane.
As the aircraft prepared for take-off, the situation escalated. "Everyone was seated ready to depart, we'd had the safety briefing and the plane was moving round to the end of the runway to take off, and then suddenly one of the men at the front stood up," Linda continued. "I don't know if the stewards pressed some kind of button but suddenly, the plane stopped, the engines stopped and suddenly they were all standing up arguing. It must've been really frightening for the elderly and disabled people in the very front row, and the stewards handled it really well."
