British passengers removed from easyJet flight for vaping despite repeated warnings

A group of British passengers was escorted off an easyJet flight from Larnaca to Birmingham after repeatedly ignoring crew orders to stop vaping during the five-hour journey. Cabin staff asked the four individuals several times to cease vaping, but the passengers did not comply, leading to their removal by police upon landing.

Footage captured by another passenger shows three women and a man being led off the plane by police, while other holidaymakers had also lodged complaints about their behaviour. The process caused a delay of over 20 minutes as staff coordinated with authorities to handle the situation.

Annalise Galstaun, who filmed the incident, criticized the group’s actions, describing their behaviour as inconsiderate towards other passengers. EasyJet staff informed the group that police were waiting to escort them from the aircraft once it had landed.
