A Chinese woman caused a disturbance on a flight that delayed the aircraft by 1 hour and 40 minutes, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
On the 24th, according to the SCMP, on the 22nd an AirAsia passenger flight from Chongqing, China, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, saw a Chinese female passenger, identified as A, make a loud phone call after boarding. When a nearby passenger pointed it out, A argued loudly, and when people around began filming, she became angry.
When a flight attendant stepped in to calm the situation and spoke in English, A shouted, "Speak in Chinese because I don't speak English." A said, "I am Chinese. You're just a flight attendant," and added, "Why don't you speak Chinese? If you can't understand me, don't fly. How can you work an international route if you can't even speak Chinese?"
She also caused a scene, shouting, "Stop filming," "Apologize," and "Refund my ticket." As the commotion continued, the flight attendant eventually called airport security, and even police boarded the plane. In the end, A was forcibly deplaned. The flight was delayed by 1 hour and 40 minutes.
