A passenger was removed from a plane carrying vacationers after the pilot decided to land unexpectedly en route to Corfu. The incident occurred during an easyJet flight from Manchester to Corfu, Greece, yesterday. Reports indicate that a disruptive passenger had to be restrained by a stewardess shortly after takeoff.
Upon landing in Milan for an unscheduled stop, a video captured local police officers escorting the unruly passenger off the aircraft. Witnesses also mentioned a woman being removed from the flight while holding a bottle of vodka, though this was not recorded.
According to a passenger, there was a disturbance at the back of the plane halfway through the flight. The stewardess remained by the passenger’s side, prompting the captain to announce an emergency landing due to disorderly conduct.
The passenger described the man’s behavior as unstable, with police officers in Milan struggling to remove him from his seat. After a delay on the tarmac, the flight eventually resumed its journey to Corfu.
An easyJet spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating that the flight diverted to Milan due to a disruptive customer. The airline emphasized its commitment to passenger and crew safety and condemned disruptive behavior onboard.
