Overview
- Flight EZY3077 was scheduled to depart Belfast International for Hurghada at 12:55pm on Saturday, January 3.
- Police attended the aircraft before departure due to a group behaving disruptively, and PSNI said it assisted with passenger disembarkation without giving further details.
- The disruption delayed departure long enough for the crew to exceed safety‑regulated operating hours, leading to cancellation and a rescheduled service on Sunday morning, January 4.
- EasyJet said safety is its highest priority and stated it does not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard.
- The airline is providing hotel accommodation and meals for affected customers, while some reports suggested a longer wait even as the airline cited a Sunday departure.
