A flight from Belfast to Egypt was cancelled on Saturday due to a “group of customers behaving disruptively onboard”, EasyJet has said.
The airline said as a result, the plane was “attended by police prior to departure”.
Flight EZY3077, from Belfast international Airport to Hurghada, had been due to depart from Belfast International Airport at 12:55 GMT on Saturday but has now been rescheduled to depart at 06:45 GMT on Sunday.
In a statement, EasyJet said it took such “incidents seriously” and did not “tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard”.
The airline added: “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.”
BBC News NI has contacted the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and Belfast International Airport for comment.
