An Easyjet spokesman confirmed to the BBC that police were called on Sunday following an incident on flight EZY481 "due to a passenger behaving disruptively onboard and refusing to wear their face covering".
"In line with EASA guidelines, all passengers are currently required to bring their own face covering for their flight which must be worn during boarding and onboard, except when eating or drinking," the spokesman added.
People on social media criticised the woman for her behaviour and potentially putting other passengers at risk.
¡°Everybody dies ¡° - most of us prefer it to be far off in the distant future.

Whatever your view on masks ? there is absolutely no reason to give this level of abuse to airline crew. The compliance with crew instructions is a condition of travel on all airlines. Don¡¯t comply and the best that can happen is you¡¯re offloaded. Well handled @easyJet. https://t.co/TF9SXOvdPZ

The spokesperson said, "Passengers receive clear communications before they travel and via announcements onboard to ensure they are aware of this requirement for the health and safety of everyone onboard. We will not tolerate disruptive behaviour towards other passengers and crew."
A spokesperson for Belfast International Airport said airport police were called at around 16:35 on Sunday and the passenger was "subsequently arrested and is currently under investigation".
