Woman Coughs on Passengers as She's Escorted Off Plane for Not Wearing Mask

A flight from Belfast to Edinburgh was disrupted on October 18 as a woman was escorted off for not wearing a mask. Video taken aboard the Easyjet flight shows the woman’s angry tirade as she leaves the plane, coughing on passengers as she goes.

The woman was removed for “behaving disruptively on board and refusing to wear their face covering,” EasyJet told Storyful. The airline said police were called and that it would "not tolerate disruptive behaviour towards other passengers and crew.”

While collecting her possessions, the woman can be heard saying, “Everybody dies. If it’s corona or not.”

Reuben Matthews, who recorded this video of the incident, commended the airline for its handling of the situation, writing on Facebook, “Well done easyJet crew for dealing with this in a professional manner.” Credit: Reuben Matthews via Storyful
