A flight to Tenerife was met by police and medical teams yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) after the crew requested urgent assistance due to the disruptive behaviour of a passenger on board.
The incident occurred on EasyJet flight EZY6607 which landed at Tenerife South Airport at 3:28pm from Birmingham. According to reports shared by air traffic controllers on social media platform X, the crew alerted authorities mid-flight about a passenger causing “significant disturbance”, prompting them to request police presence and medical support upon landing.
In response to the call, air traffic control gave priority to the aircraft’s approach to ensure a swifter arrival at Tenerife South. Meanwhile, coordination took place with airport staff to prepare for the necessary interventions as soon as the plane touched down.
The situation reportedly escalated when the passenger urinated in the aisle, an act that has since led to what sources describe as an “exemplary punishment,” though specific details of the sanction have not been officially confirmed.
The incident unfolded during the final stage of the journey, and no further information has been released regarding the passenger’s condition or the exact circumstances that required police and medical involvement.
This event comes amid a series of concerning episodes on flights bound for the Canary Islands in recent months, highlighting ongoing challenges faced by cabin crews in managing passenger conduct.
