Supermodels are usually known for their expensive lifestyles and high-profile friends, but it doesn't hurt to ride budget-friendly airlines every now and then. This has become apparent after Kate Moss was reported to have been escorted off an easyJet flight in London for being "disruptive."

The Kate Moss plane incident took place Sunday afternoon, according to media accounts from the United KingdomThe supermodel was traveling from Bodrum, Turkey, to Luton airport in London, reported The Associated Press.

Upon the plane's arrival at London, Bedfordshire Police were called in to help staff escort the 41-year-old off the plane after being disruptive on the flight, the BBC said.  

There had been no actual mention of Moss in statements from police and easyJet, but they did acknowledge the incident involving a problem flier, according to USA Today.

"We were called to assist staff in escorting a passenger from a flight arriving into Luton airport," according to a police spokesman as told to the London Evening Standard. "The passenger had been reported as being disruptive on the flight. Officers attended and escorted the passenger from the plane. No formal complaints were made against her and she was not arrested."

Police saw the flight as soon as it arrived "due to the behavior of a passenger on board," a spokeswoman for the budget airline told AFP.

easyJet "does not tolerate disruptive behavior and will always report any incidents to the authorities," the spokeswoman also told the BBC.

Neither an arrest nor complaints have been made in lieu of the Kate moss plane incident.

Meanwhile, Daily Mail has asked passengers from the flight about the alleged Kate Moss plane incident, and they reportedly said that it took place after attendants refused to give her alcohol. She later took vodka from her bag, said one passenger.

Another passenger who is also unnamed said that Moss also swore at the pilots upon leaving the plane.

However, one passenger, who claimed she was seated two rows behind the supermodel, said in response to questions from  Britain's Sky News that the easyJet crew just overreacted.

The passenger saw the Kate Moss plane incident as a "storm in a teacup."

"There certainly wasn't anything evident that was either putting the plane in jeopardy or creating a problem," she added. "It was more we felt that even the staff onboard weren't in a very pleasant mood or helpful and maybe they just got hump in dealing with anybody, let alone a famous customer."

Perhaps, as much as the Kate Moss plane incident drew attention to Moss' attitude, it also highlighted her choice of budget airlines.

easyJet is a European discount airline known for its budget fares and economy service, and as all budget-friendly airlines are, requesting for alcohol would require payment. Moss has not made any comments regarding the incident, according to SFGate.
