Bosses blamed bad weather for the terrifying incident.
The plane veered off the taxiway, but passengers were able to disembark.
EasyJet was forced to take its jet out of service as an investigation began.
An airline spokesperson told The Sun: “We can confirm that EZY8843 from London Gatwick to Keflavik went off the taxiway when taxiing to its stand at low speed. All passengers disembarked normally.
“We are doing all possible to minimise the delay for passengers due to return to the UK and a replacement aircraft has already been arranged to operate this flight back to London Gatwick.
“We would like to apologise to customers for any inconvenience caused.”
