The airline said: “EasyJet can confirm that flight EZY6984 from Copenhagen to Edinburgh on July 13 was met by police on arrival in Edinburgh as a result of a passenger onboard behaving in a disruptive manner.

“EasyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.

“It was reported that a passenger onboard was drinking their own alcohol onboard. For the safety of all onboard it is illegal for passengers to drink alcohol purchased in the airport during the flight.

“Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously, do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard and always push for prosecution.

“The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet’s priority.”
