An easyJet flight from Belfast to Egypt has been cancelled after a number of passengers became disruptive prior to take off.
The airline said police had attended the incident on Saturday before the plane could take off.
Flight EZY3077, from Belfast international Airport to Hurghada, had been due to depart from Belfast International Airport at 12.55pm on Saturday but was rescheduled to depart on Sunday.
In a statement, easyJet said it took the incident “seriously”.
“We do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard,” said a spokesperson.
“Unfortunately this delay led to the crew reaching their safety regulated operating hours which has resulted in the flight being rescheduled to tomorrow [Sunday] and we are providing customers with hotel accommodation and meals.
“The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always EasyJet’s highest priority and while this was outside of our control, we are sorry for the inconvenience this will have caused.”
