"I'm Chinese, don't speak English"... Flight Delayed by 100 Minutes Due to Passenger Rampage (Seoul = Yonhap News) A Chinese passenger who caused a disturbance and delayed the flight's departure by 1 hour and 40 minutes was eventually dragged off the plane by airport security personnel. According to Reuters and other sources, around 2 a.m. on the 22nd, a female passenger suddenly began shouting on AirAsia Flight D7809, which was scheduled to depart from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport in China and head to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The woman continued to vent her frustrations to the staff, demanding, "Refund my ticket and find a solution immediately." This commotion, which lasted for over an hour, began when a passenger sitting next to her asked her to lower her voice after she spoke loudly on the phone while waiting for departure. Despite the other passenger's plea, the woman raised her voice even louder, eventually leading to an argument. When another passenger filmed the scene with a mobile phone, the woman became even more agitated. The situation escalated when a flight attendant arrived to intervene and communicated in English; the woman retorted, "I am Chinese, so why aren't you speaking to me in Chinese? If you don't understand me, don't fly. How can this be an international flight when you can't even respond in Chinese?" The woman persisted, even demanding compensation from the airline, and the passengers watching the prolonged commotion looked exhausted. Eventually, the woman disembarked after airport security personnel intervened. The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 2:00 AM, was delayed by approximately one hour and forty minutes and was only able to take off at 3:40 AM.
