A resident from Ibiza has made it clear that locals do not want "English animals" visiting the island after what she described as a flight of "real horror". Erika Barrachina shared a video on TikTok on Saturday, May 17, of an EasyJet flight from London to Ibiza, that was packed with UK holidaymakers chanting "come on Ibiza".
According to Erika, the two and a half hour flight from Luton Airport was full of the disruptive passengers "screaming", "hitting each other", and even preventing the flight attendants from carrying out their roles. In the caption the Spanish passenger said: "My trip yesterday London - Ibiza with easyjet was a real horror! I was scared, a plane full of real English animals!"
Mi viaje de ayer London-Ibiza con easy jet fue un auténtico horror!!pasé miedo , un avión lleno de auténticos animales ingleses!! Todo el mundo de pie, chillando chicos pegandose, bebiendo botellitas de alcohol una detrás de otra impidiendo a los asistentes del avión hacer su trabajo! Un auténtico infierno!!! Este vídeo solo és el final, lo que paso durante el trayecto no pude grabar.. antes de subir al avión ya iban borrachos, colocados! Tomando pastillas y alcohol a la vez( lo vi con mis propios ojos) fue un vuelo de 2h1/2 muy muy salvaje! Esto no se puede permitir! No deberían dejar subir a esta gentiza al avión ni vender alcohol dentro! No queremos este tipo de turismo en Ibiza, que se queden en su casa!! Lo pasé muy muy mal.. y los azafato@D sin poder hacer nada porque Como controlas dentro de un avión a estos animales salvajes?? Tiene que haber una solución!!! @easyJet #easyjet#turismoinglés#turismoibiza#animales#viajes#londonlife#londresibiza#londontiktok#ibizalondres#inseguridadavion#turismodecalidad
She also claims that the chaos didn't start on the flight and that the "wild animals" were already drunk before getting on the plane. Erika also said they were "taking pills and alcohol at the same time" whilst onboard, and believes that alcohol should not be available on flights.
"We don't want this type of tourism in Ibiza, they should stay at home!", she added.
According to The Independent, the Airbus A320 from Luton was met by local police following its landing in Ibiza at around 11:30pm
A spokeperson for EasyJet said: "Flight EZY2307 from Luton Ibixa on 16th May was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving in a disruptive manner. EasyJet's cabin crew are trained to assess 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.

It comes as residents in the Canary Islands have also been experiencing issues with overtourism. Protest took place in Tenerife, with thousands of locals campaigning against mass tourism on Sunday, May 18.
Canary Island residents are demanding that their authorities take action on tackling the number of travellers that visit the destination, as well the surging housing costs, and infrastructure issues, which are severly impacting them.
