Passengers escorted off flight at Birmingham Airport after 'refusing to stop vaping'
Summary
A group of four adults were escorted off an easyJet flight by airport police after allegedly vaping throughout a five-hour journey from Larnaca, Cyprus, to Birmingham on the evening of September 16. Passenger Annalise Galstaun, seated two rows behind the group, captured video of the removal after the plane landed. She said easyJet cabin crew warned them multiple times to stop vaping, but they continued discreetly, hiding devices behind their legs. The incident caused a 25-minute delay on the tarmac around 11pm, with crying children onboard. easyJet confirmed the flight was met by police due to disruptive passenger behavior and stated they do not tolerate such conduct onboard, emphasizing that customer and crew safety is their highest priority.
