According to the flight crew’s explanation, the passenger had to remain where he was during the flight, about three hours in the air.
It’s unclear why the couple didn’t book seats next to each other from the start.The man continued to argue with the flight attendant for almost two hours, starting after takeoff.
A recording shows that several cabin crew intervened to mediate this heated argument, before the flight was finally forced to divert at around 9 Monday evening local time.
This disruption was later reported by the pilot to the Japanese authorities, as he was forced to take an emergency landing and U-Turn back to Narita Airport.
The plane landed again in Narita at 11 pm local time, then the man was immediately detained by the police, because he was deemed to be disturbing and delaying the flight.
“There was no previous announcement or discussion about the situation. We only heard an announcement stating that the flight would return because someone was obstructing the crew,” said a witness, reported by
Independent
.
Furthermore, according to him, their flight at that time only had about 30 minutes to land in Shanghai, this fact made the entire plane feel angry.”He could have stayed so everyone could achieve their goals,” he lamented.
Meanwhile, on the Spring Airlines information page, the seat options offered by the airline are listed;
– “Party Seats”, a seat option that allows passengers to sit with friends or family
– “Hot Seats”, a selection of seats with easy access
– “Space Seats”, a choice of seats with more legroom
– “VIP Seats”, a choice of seats with 39 inches of legroom.
According to former Virgin Atlantic Captain and YouTuber, Pete the Irish Pilot, regardless of the reason, swapping seats after the plane takes off can be dangerous for the flight.
Pete previously told
The Independent
, that the behavior of passengers changing seats can be dangerous and the consequences unpredictable during takeoff and landing.
“To start moving seats, especially in significant numbers, into unplanned areas, can significantly impact the balance of the aircraft,” he said.
