Video footage of an air rage incident that nearly threatened the safety of a Singapore Airlines flight last month has been circulating on the Internet.
26—year—old Dull Kegan William, an Australian man, was found guilty of it by Singapore’s Subordinate Court last week and sentenced to two weeks’ jail.
According to SIA, the passenger who was drunk, displayed loud and aggressive behaviour, disturbing others on the SQ377 flight from Barcelona to Singapore on 17 February.
Channel NewsAsia understands SIA’s cabin crew issued warnings to the man but he persisted in his behaviour.
He then threatened to open the emergency exit door about an hour prior to landing.
At this point, crew members, together with other passengers, tried to restrain him. But he turned violent and a scuffle broke out.
The man was later handed to the Police when the flight landed in Singapore on 18 February.
