EasyJet said police met the flight on arrival after crew warned the group multiple times, and the airline said it does not tolerate disruptive behavior.
- On Wednesday, September 16, police escorted four adults off an EasyJet flight at Birmingham Airport after they allegedly vaped throughout the five-hour journey from Larnaca International Airport, Cyprus.

- Galstaun, seated two rows behind the group, captured footage of the removal and reported the disruptive behavior caused distress among children on the late-night flight around 11 p.m.
