EasyJet Pilot Aborts Takeoff Due to Disruptive Drunken Passengers

An EasyJet pilot had to abort takeoff after 30 intoxicated passengers caused significant disruption on board.

Police were called to the gate of the Malaga-bound flight at Bristol Airport after a large group of young men refused to sit and insisted on using the toilet during takeoff.

The flight, already delayed by an hour in the terminal, faced an additional hour of waiting as the disruptive passengers collected their bags and were removed from the plane.

One passenger mentioned that the entire cabin cheered when the last of the unruly men was escorted off with his belongings.

EasyJet stated they are taking the incident “very seriously” and emphasized that they “do not tolerate abusive or threatening behavior on board.”
