WILLOUGHBY 'KIDNAP PLOT' AS THIS MORNING PRESENTER 'UNDER POLICE WATCH' AND MAN ARRESTED The passengers were then said to have been escorted off the plane by officers.

Neil Houlker, from Nelson in Lancashire, was onboard the plane with his wife and daughter. He said: "We boarded the plane in Dalaman and there were two and three people missing. The

plane was due to depart early but they had to wait for these people. "This lady boarded the plane and was shouting 'where's row 31', she had quite obviously been

drinking. As she was shouting, two of the cabin crew looked at each other, the woman should never have been allowed on the plane. "We were at the front of the plane and they were at the

back and the cabin crew had to keep coming to speak to them. It was just general disruption, shouting, swearing and drinking. "There was a free seat behind us and a man was moved

because of the disruption. The pilot had to do an announcement to say they would not tolerate any disruption." GET BREAKING NEWS IN YORKSHIRE STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE Get all the latest

if the plane was really being diverted. However, he says that they couldn't say. He said: "They announced we were being diverted and four Italian police officers come onto the

plane. "The woman started shouting, there was a man who must have been travelling with her and was trying to plead his innocence saying it was all her and not him. She hit him over the

head with a carrier bag, I don't know if anything was in it. "A bottle of vodka was also taken from them but there wasn't that much left. There were children onboard the plane

who shouldn't have had to have seen that." An easyJet spokesperson confirmed three people were removed from the plane by police. While passengers told the ECHO they believe two

men and a woman were arrested. After its emergency landing the flight continued on to Liverpool, where it arrived in John Lennon airport around two and a half hours late. A spokesperson for

the airline said: "easyJet can confirm that flight EZY3406 from Dalaman to Liverpool yesterday diverted to Venice where the aircraft was met by police due to three passengers behaving

disruptively onboard. "The flight then continued to Liverpool once the passengers were removed. 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. "Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not

tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority."
