A video recorded by a passenger shows a male flight attendant nervously opening the bathroom door at the back of the plane and witnessing a couple "doing it" in the cramped space at an altitude of about 10,000m. Immediately, the male passenger in the bathroom quickly slammed the door shut.
Many passengers screamed, while the male flight attendant could only hold his head, speechless. The video was widely shared on social media and went viral.
The flight attendant opened the door and discovered a "shocking" scene.
A spokesman for budget airline easyJet told MailOnline : "We can confirm that a flight from Luton to Ibiza on Sunday 8 September was 'questioned' by police on landing due to the behaviour of two passengers on board."
The identity of the couple is not yet known and it has not been confirmed whether any arrests were made in Ibiza after the pair were taken away by police.
Bedfordshire Police, which is responsible for policing at Luton Airport, confirmed to MailOnline that they were not involved in the incident.
So, is it illegal to have sex on a plane? There are no laws against having sex on a plane in the UK. However, there are a number of offences that passengers are at risk of committing.
Under section 71 of the Sexual Offences Act 2004, it is illegal to have sex in a toilet that is accessible to the public.
Offenders risk six months in prison or a £1,000 fine.
Couples who make love on planes are known as "members of the Mile High Club." It's a slang term for people who have had sex thousands of feet in the air.
According to Forbes, a recent survey by "Mile High Club" of more than 11,000 dating site users (mainly from the US and UK) revealed that only 5% of those surveyed had ever had sex on a plane, but 78% would like to. Just under a fifth (17%) said they wouldn't be interested at all.
Why do people like to do it? Boredom, vibrations from the plane's engines, and imagined satisfaction may play a role…
The majority of incidents took place in the bathroom (59%) but 31% occurred in the seat, 9% in the galley (stockroom) and 1% in the cockpit, meaning the pilot was definitely involved (most of these happened on private planes rather than commercial aircraft).
Due to the illegal nature of the "Mile High Club," typical "meetings" last no more than 10 minutes and 68% take place on night flights rather than daytime flights.
