French authorities are trying to establish whether a group of young French citizens were removed from a plane bound for Paris from Spain this week because they are Jewish. The airline, Vueling, has denied the claims.

The airline that operated the flight claimed the teenagers were being unruly. The Jewish summer camp denied this, saying it was discrimination.

Spanish police and the airline Vueling say several dozen French passengers were removed from a flight leaving Valencia for Paris over unruly behavior.
