Shocking moment ‘drunken’ duo thrown off easyJet plane by cops as passengers cheer after pair ‘boozed on vodka’
THIS is the shocking moment two allegedly drunk holidaymakers were thrown off an easyJet flight.
The duo had reportedly boozed on duty-free vodka on the plane from Tenerife South to London Gatwick at 2am this morning.
Video shows the pair being removed by three Sussex Police officers as their fellow passengers cheered.
Witnesses claim the pair were “rowdy” throughout the flight before the cops were called.
The passenger who filmed their walk of shame told MailOnline: “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.
“They were both in a bad way.”
An easyJet spokesperson said: “We can confirm that flight EZS8036 from Tenerife to London Gatwick this morning 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.
“Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard.
“The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority.”
The Sun has approached Sussex Police for comment.
It comes after a Brit holidaymaker was this week arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting an air stewardess on a flight to Majorca.
The 26-year-old tourist was held after the airline employee complained she had been groped in mid-air.
Last August, another British tourist was arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting an air stewardess before spitting on her boss on a flight to Ibiza.
The 42-year-old was held by police after reaching the Spanish party island on a Jet2 flight from Manchester.
