Police surrounded an easyJet plane after it made an emergency landing. The Airbus set off from Liverpool at 1.06pm on Wednesday, heading for Dalaman in Turkey.
Two hours into the journey the flight made an emergency landing and was met by police on the tarmac. Two passengers had started behaving "disruptively" onboard.
Witnesses claimed the two passengers left the plane with German police, reports The Echo.
A spokesperson for easyJet said: "easyJet can confirm that the flight EZY3409 from Liverpool to Dalaman on 19 April diverted to Munich and was met by police due to two passengers behaving disruptively onboard. easyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.
“Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority.”
One eyewitness said the easyJet crew were "very professional and calm" when dealing with the incident. A passenger, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "Just under an hour into the flight the trouble started. Many passengers found it disturbing and felt unsafe with the drama unfolding.
"This went on for some time, the cabin crew tried to intervene and then the captain decided to make an emergency landing at Munich to remove the guy, German police boarded the plane and removed them. There was a large presence of police both on the plane and also on the tarmac."
