A viral video shows a furious woman as she is escorted off an Edinburgh flight.
The EasyJet flight from Belfast to Edinburgh yesterday (October 18) was delayed after a passenger was filmed screaming, shouting and purposely coughing on other passengers.
In a video filmed by another passenger on the flight, the woman, who has a strong Scottish accent, can be heard shouting "everybody dies" as she gathers her bags to be removed from the plane.
She then adds: "Everybody dies do you know that, if it's corona or not, everybody dies".
After being escorted up the aisle by a cabin crew member, the woman, who is seen not wearing a mask, proceeds to intentionally cough on other passengers in their seats.
As she leaves the aircraft, she is then seen to turn to a staff member at the front of the plane and say what appears to be:
"F**ck off you f****ing b****d I hope you die".
In response to the video, which has been shared widely online, easyJet have confirmed that police attended the flight due to the disruptive behaviour.
A spokesperson for the airline said: "easyJet can confirm that police attended flight EZY481 from Belfast to Edinburgh on 18th October due to a passenger behaving disruptively onboard and refusing to wear their face covering.
“In line with EASA guidelines, all passengers are currently required to bring their own face covering for their flight which must be worn during boarding and onboard, except when eating or drinking.
“Passengers receive clear communications before they travel and via announcements onboard to ensure they are aware of this requirement for the health and safety of everyone onboard. We will not tolerate disruptive behaviour towards other passengers and crew.”
Currently, face coverings are mandatory on all forms of public transport unless you are eating or drinking or have a condition which exempts you from the new regulations.
