Kate Moss takes easyJet.

Let that sink in for a moment.

While celebrities behaving badly on airlines is a common refrain, the most shocking part of this may be Moss' use of the budget basement of air travel.

The model, who rocketed to fame in the early '90s with the help of Calvin Klein underwear, was escorted off a plane at London's Luton airport on Sunday.

EasyJet confirmed in a statement that police met flight EZY2232, arriving in London around 4 p.m. local time, from Bodrum, Turkey, "due to the behaviour of a passenger onboard."

“The passenger had been reported as being disruptive on the flight,” Bedfordshire Police said in a statement. “Officers attended and escorted the passenger from the plane.”

Although Moss was escorted from the plane, there were no arrests, according to police.

A passenger told The Mirror that Moss called the pilot a "basic bitch" as police escorted her from the plane.

“But she was not aggressive to anyone and was funny really, the easyJet crew was acting out of proportion," the passenger said. "She was a little drunk and had a disagreement with another passenger on the flight as she was refused alcohol and then went to serve her own vodka from her cabin luggage."

Moss was on a girls' weekend with friend Sadie Frost.

One-way fares on easyJet from Bodrum to London start at about £110, or about $170, in June.
