Passenger Throws Hot Water at Flight Attendant; Air Asia Plane Returns to Bangkok

An Air Asia Flight had to return and make an emergency landing in Bangkok, Thailand, on December 11.

The charter flight was on its way to Nanjing, China, when a Chinese passenger threw boiling hot water and noodles at a flight attendant.

The airline said in statement, “An unidentified female passenger assaulted the flight attendant with the hot liquid after becoming dissatisfied with the service…The captain of the flight decided to return the plane to Don Mueang Airport deeming her actions as endangering to other passengers and impeding in-flight service.”

The plane landed safely and the flight attendant was given medical aid.

The unruly passengers, along with 3 accompanying people, were removed from the plane.
