EasyJet said a group of passengers caused 'disturbance' onboard

An EasyJet flight from Birmingham to Tenerife was met by police on arrival after a passenger was said to have "urinated in the aisle".

The incident is believed to have taken place on the EZY6607 flight on July 2.


Plane crew alerted authorities to a passenger causing disturbance mid-flight and the aircraft was given priority by air traffic control upon landing, local newspaper Canarian Weekly reports.

The Spanish newspaper said that the passenger then "urinated in the aisle" during the final stage of the journey.

In a separate incident, an EasyJet flight which took off from Tunisia on June 29 and was bound for Glasgow was forced to divert to Birmingham due to a medical emergency.

The airline said the passenger was met by medical services at Birmingham Airport before the flight later continued to Glasgow.

Another easyJet aircraft departing from Manchester en route to the Turkish resort destination of Izmir on Monday, June 30, only reached as far as Norfolk before turning back due to a "passenger welfare issue".
