Holidaymakers heading from Edinburgh to Cyprus found themselves taken to Poland instead when two passengers kicked off on board.
The disruptive behaviour forced the pilot of the Easyjet plane (EZY6945) to divert to Krakow last night where it was met by police.
They eventually got to their intended destination of Paphos just after midnight.
A spokesman said: "easyJet can confirm that flight EZY6945 from Edinburgh to Paphos diverted to Krakow and was met by police on arrival due to two passengers behaving disruptively.
"The flight will be continuing on to Paphos this evening.
"easyJet's cabin crew are highly 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, do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour and always push for prosecution.
"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused"
