Jax Taylor is alleged to have caused a flight delay because of an issue with a first-class seat.

Page Six has learned from an irate source that last week’s flight from JFK to LAX was severely delayed when “Vanderpump Rules” star Jax Taylor turned around on the runway.

According to a heated source, “it made the plane two and a half hours late because they were already on the runway, and it was raining.” The source also mentioned that there was talk on the plane about the reality star getting upset because his seat wouldn’t go back.

However, Taylor’s representative told Page Six that the reality star wasn’t acting strangely and that a defective seat was to blame for the delay.

“The plane did not come back [to the gate] due to any uproar,” said the rep. “His seat was in the bed position in first class, and the plane is unable to take off if it is not upright. He was not able to sit in that seat. It was not working. It was not his fault that the seat wouldn’t move from the bed position.”

Either way, the delay still caused a headache for international travelers on the plane, who subsequently had to scramble to get to their next flights and make connections.

“There were 13 passengers going to Singapore and China who had to rush off the plane. They had, like, an hour to deplane and get to the other terminal before the doors closed,” said our source.

The flyer tell us it was initially unclear what the hubbub was all about. “People were upset, but not like rioting, just frustrated and gossiping when we returned and parked at the gate.”

Much like a plotline from his Bravo show, Taylor, 44, ended up perhaps unfairly getting the blame.

One peeved passenger tweeted of the delay, “Turns out it was some D-list reality TV person.”

Other online commenters then also piled on.

We’re told Taylor was sitting in JetBlue Mint, which according to the airline features “a fully lie-flat seat built with Tuft & Needle’s T&N Adaptive® Foam cushions, a memory foam pillow and a customizable blanket.”

The reality star had been in New York City to host the opening of a new speakeasy and eatery in Long Island City, called the Newsroom.

He’ll next appear on E!’s “House of Villains” starting October 12.

Back in 2018, Taylor was on a Delta flight with his future wife, Brittany Cartwright, when she alleged that a fellow passenger put gum in her hair.
