In a shocking incident on an EasyJet flight, a plane traveling from Birmingham, UK, to Tenerife, Spain, was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger urinated in the aisle and verbally abused crew members.

According to reports from Canarian Weekly and Mirror, the incident occurred around 3:30 AM local time on July 2, on flight EZY6607. The crew informed the control tower of a 'serious disturbance' and requested emergency assistance, prioritizing landing at Tenerife South Airport.

The police were on standby on the ground and boarded the aircraft immediately upon landing. EasyJet confirmed that a group of unruly passengers from Birmingham exhibited disruptive behavior, with one man openly urinating in the aisle, accompanied by insults and threats to other passengers and crew, creating significant distress.

The airline stated that the crew handled the situation according to protocols and ensured that flight safety was not compromised. EasyJet emphasized, 'We do not tolerate any aggressive or threatening behavior; the safety of our passengers and crew is always our top priority.'

This is not the first instance of unruly behavior on a flight. In May, another EasyJet flight from London Gatwick to Marrakech, Morocco, was forced to divert to Faro, Portugal, due to disruptive behavior from a group of British passengers celebrating a stag party.
