Wizz Air flight to Tel Aviv delayed after passenger asks to leave prior to takeoff

A Wizz Air flight (6043) from Rome to Tel Aviv was delayed on Friday after a passenger requested to deplane shortly before takeoff, leading to police intervention. The incident occurred after all passengers had boarded and were seated. Social media footage showed police boarding the aircraft, and initial reports of cancellation were later clarified, with the flight eventually departing. The flight, originally scheduled to land at Ben Gurion Airport at 6:45 p.m., arrived at 10 p.m. Unverified claims circulated online suggesting the passenger, who had reportedly become religious, wished to leave due to the flight's expected arrival in Israel after the start of Shabbat.
