Easyjet confirmed they asked for police assistance due to ‘disruptive behaviour by two passengers’.

They said the cabin crew acted ‘quickly and precisely’ to ensure safety was not compromised by actions they described as ‘abusive and threatening’.

No further information about the nature of the incident was disclosed or what happened to the two travellers on landing at the Costa Blanca airport.

The second problem occurred on a Jet2 service from Edinburgh.

Once again police help was asked for due to ‘complications’.

Like in the Easyjet incident, no details were were supplied, but one report suggested that a passenger had a ‘psychological’ issue.
