SHOCKING footage shows the moment an unruly EasyJet passenger was hauled off a flight after hurling racial slurs, swearing at kids and nicking crisps.
The woman, in her 50s, was filmed shouting at other passengers and a flight attendant on the Belfast to Manchester flight before she was removed from the aircraft.

Video footage from Friday captures the passenger initially swearing about complaints after she brought food onto the aircraft, referring to “teacakes” and a “packet of crisps“.
She then targeted a passenger three rows ahead, swearing at them until they turned around.
The foul-mouthed traveller says: “Who you talking to?
“I don’t like you and I don’t like what you say.
“You’re a nasty person.”
She continued to target the other male passenger, referring to him as “Ukranian” alongside a range of swear words.
A member of the crew can be heard over the PA system asking passengers to remain in their seats until airport authorities arrive at the aircraft.
As this is happening, a male flight attendant can be seen trying to calm the angry passenger down, saying: “There’s kids in the plane, give it a rest.
“How many times do I need to tell you?
“Stop your swearing.”
The passenger continues to swear at both the passengers and flight attendant, blurting out racist and then Islamophobic remarks as the other passengers began to mock her rant.
At one point, the female passenger refers to crew being “happy to serve” her wine before her tirade.
Eventually, police arrive and ask the woman to leave the aircraft with them.
As she’s escorted off the plane by police, she can be heard referring to “cheese & onion crisps” as the rest of the aircraft jeered.
‘DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR’
Witness Shauna Corr, 44, slammed the passenger’s “disgusting behaviour”.
She said: “Her language was atrocious and racist, she was making very derogatory comments about people including Muslims – at one stage she even struck out at Ukrainian people.”
According to Shauna, the behaviour began midway through the flight and that the individual had stolen some crisps from a flight attendant without paying.
A spokersperson for EasyJet said: “Flight EZY714 from Belfast City to Manchester on 17 January was met by police on arrival due to a passenger behaving disruptively onboard.
“easyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and acted quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers was not compromised at any time.
“Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard. The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is always easyJet’s priority.”
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: “At around 8.50pm yesterday evening (Friday 17 January 2025), we were called to reports of a woman being drunk and disorderly onboard an aircraft flying from Belfast in Northern Ireland to Manchester Airport.
“Upon the plane returning to Manchester Airport, a woman in her 50s was arrested on suspicion of being drunk onboard an aircraft and was taken into custody where she remains for questioning.”
