Woman launched foul-mouthed racist tirade on flight from Belfast to Manchester

Shocking footage shows the moment a woman went on a foul-mouthed racist tirade while on a flight after allegedly stealing a bag of crisps from a flight attendant.

The woman, aged in her 50s, can be seen shouting at other passengers and using racist language during an EasyJet flight from Belfast to Manchester on Friday.

Witness Shauna Corr, 44, said: “The lady involved was a few rows in front of me – I felt really sorry for the couple sitting behind her and the children on the flight.”

“His language was atrocious and racist, he made very derogatory comments about people, including Muslims; at one point he even attacked Ukrainians.”

In the video, the woman is reprimanded by several passengers, telling her to shut up.

At one point, a butler reprimands her for her language and warns her that he will call the police if she continues.

The woman continues cursing and screaming and is eventually escorted off the plane.

Mrs Corr said: “She was just starting out but I think the stewards handled it very well – it was quite unpleasant behaviour.”

The woman’s unruly behavior began mid-flight, and she even appeared to take some Tayto crisps from a flight attendant without paying.

Mrs Corr said: ‘When I first heard it I thought it was a boy. But the situation escalated towards the end of the flight.

“I think the fact that it was a middle-aged woman surprised people; it’s not the kind of behavior you would expect from anyone, let alone a middle-aged woman.”

An EasyJet spokesperson said: “Flight EZY714 from Belfast City to Manchester on January 17 was met by police on arrival due to a passenger engaging in disruptive behavior on board.

‘EasyJet 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.

‘Although these incidents are rare, we take them very seriously and do not tolerate abusive or threatening behavior on board.

“The safety and well-being of our passengers and crew is always EasyJet’s priority.”
