Haredi passengers refuse to sit next to women during flight

Haredi passengers on a flight from Tel Aviv to London refused to take their seats next to women, delaying its departure.

Police were called to the EasyJet plane when it landed at London Luton Airport on Monday afternoon, according to reports. One officer stood at the door of the plane and two on the tarmac as the passengers deplaned to prevent a possible “breach of the peace” by the haredi passengers, the Jewish Chronicle reported Wednesday.
