The flight, which was due to take off around 6am this morning (Saturday), had to be delayed for nearly an hour as staff removed the passengers and their luggage.
One passenger told the M.E.N: "Flight at Mcr Airport to Marrakech delayed due to drunken women from Scarborough on board smoking and shouting. Thrown off - flight delayed while they look for luggage.
"They were taking selfies and putting them on Snapchat shouting 'big up Scarborough. Who's from Scarborough' across the whole plane."
A spokesperson for Ryanair confirmed that the flight was able to depart Manchester Airport with a delay of just under an hour, before safely arriving in Marrakesh.
They said in a statement: "The crew of this flight from Manchester to Marrakech (17 Sept) requested police assistance ahead of departure after a small number of passengers became disruptive.
"These passengers were removed from the aircraft before it departed safely for Marrakech following a minor delay of 55mins."
Greater Manchester Police have been approached for comment.
