EasyJet flight to Tenerife met by police after ‘passenger urinated in the aisle’ 

A disruptive passenger is said to have urinated in the aisle onboard an easyJet flight between Birmingham and Tenerife. 

The incident reportedly took place as an unruly group travelled on flight EZY6607 yesterday afternoon and led to police and medical teams meeting the aircraft.  

The crew requested the support after reporting a passenger who was causing a ‘significant disturbance’, according to reports shared by air traffic controllers on X. 

Air Traffic Control at Tenerife South Airport then gave priority to the aircraft’s approach for a faster arrival, with the jet landing at 3.28pm.  

The incident reportedly escalated when the passenger urinated in the aisle, an act that has since led to what sources describe as an ‘exemplary punishment’ without any further details being made public.  

A number of concerning episodes have taken place on flights heading to and from the Canary Islands in recent months. 

In May, a British woman was hauled off a Ryanair flight from Tenerife to Scotland after reportedly making fake bomb threats and being aggressive to other passengers.  

The incident came four weeks after two ‘disruptive passengers’ had to be removed from another Ryanair flight between Manchester and Corfu.

The crew had to call for assistance after a fight broke out, according to the Manchester Evening News. Video then showed the passengers being removed from the plane in Bologna, Italy. 

A spokesperson for easyJet said: ‘We can confirm that flight EZY6607 from Birmingham to Tenerife on 2 July was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving disruptively onboard. 

‘EasyJet’s crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and acted quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers was not compromised at any time. 

‘The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is always easyJet’s priority and we do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard.’
