Overview
- A reportedly intoxicated passenger on easyJet Flight EZY2511 was restrained while the plane was taxiing at Luton on June 13, forcing an aborted takeoff.
- Multiple passenger witnesses said the man became abusive and began head‑butting a toilet door before cabin crew, the captain and other travellers subdued him in the rear galley.
- Ground staff boarded to remove the passenger and witnesses say he briefly broke free and ran toward a live runway before police escorted him away.
- The struggle and removal delayed the flight by about three hours and 55 minutes, with passengers cheering when the man was taken off and the aircraft arriving in Amsterdam late.
- easyJet confirmed the passenger was denied travel, said crew and ground staff are trained to manage incidents and emphasised safety as its priority; the company has not released details on charges or medical assessment.
