Some French teenagers have been evacuated from a flight for "uproar," and Israel has called the decision anti-Semitic

The company Vueling has forced a group of French teenagers on a flightto Paris to leave the plane at Valencia airport this Wednesday wednesday because of the "conflicting behaviour"of these passengers, which "endangered the safe development of the flight" , according to the airline.

The Israeli minister added that this is why the crew removed the group while accusing Israel of being a "terrorist state," which the company has denied.

On the other hand, sources from the Civil Guard have also denied that it was due to religious motivation and have explained that the group of minors, who were accompanied by monitors, were making a "fuss" and that the pilot of the plane, alarmed by the noises, had left the cockpit to see what was going on.

In view of this situation, the commander of the Vueling company, who was on his way to Paris-Orly, gave notice to the Manises Airport Coordination, and reported that he did not allow access to the aircraft to these 52 passengers, 44 of whom were minors, and 8 others served as monitors, all of them French.

A "very conflict-ridden" attitude 

The commander reported that the group had a "very conflict-ridden" attitude, that emergency material was being manipulated repeatedly and that the cabin crew was actively suspending the security display, according to information received by the agencies. 

On the grounds that this position jeopardized the safety of the vessel, the commander requested the intervention of the Civil Guard to remove the said group of passengers from the aircraft.

When the officers went to the plane, they saw some observers arguing with the crew, and then they showed an aggressive attitude towards the officers. One of them was pushed and attacked by the supervisor, and had to be reduced and handcuffed.

As a result of these incidents, in addition to filing a complaint for disturbance of air safety A, proceedings have been opened for offences of resistance to public order and disobedience to the law enforcement officer and referred to the judicial authority,  as well as a .

Twenty-three of the minors and two monitors were placed on a flight from another company, while the rest have stayed in a hotel.

Sources point out that the officers were not aware at any time of the religious confession of persons taken from the plane.

Vueling denies discrimination 

In the same vein, Vueling states in a statement that the activity of the ship's personnel "responded to conduct that endangered the integrity of the flight, passenger safety and operation in general." 

The note states that a group of teenagers showed "a very conflict-ridden attitude, endangering the safe development of the flight."

The group "unduly manipulated emergency equipment and actively suspended the mandatory security display, repeatedly ignoring the instructions of cabin personnel."

"Despite numerous warnings, inappropriate conduct continued, forcing the activation of the established security protocols, and the crew, acting professionally and in accordance with Vueling's procedures, requested the intervention of the Civil Guard, which, after analysing the situation, forced the team to leave the aircraft in order to prioritize the safety of the rest of the passengers," he said.

Once at the terminal, the group's behavior remained aggressive and "some people showed a violent attitude towards the authorities," he added.

The company has denied the crew's decision with the "religious statement of the passengers involved," which it "fully" respects, and has stressed that the decision to remove them from the ship was made "solely to ensure the safety of all passengers."

"We reject any form of discrimination against Vueling without exception," the company said, regretting what happened and thanking "the support and understanding of the passengers affected by this situation."
