On the 7th, a man who was asked to put on a mask to prevent infection with the new coronavirus in a passenger plane from Kushiro, Hokkaido to Kansai Airport refused to wear it and threatened passengers and flight attendants It turned out that there was a problem in unloading at Niigata Airport.
This flight is a peach aviation flight to Kansai Airport that left Kushiro Airport in Hokkaido on the afternoon of the 7th.
According to the airline, before the flight, the flight attendant found some of the passengers in the passenger unmasked and asked for them to wear them, but they didn't respond.
Even after leaving, the man refused to wear it, and another passenger said that he disliked the vicinity of a person who is not wearing a mask, but he said that it was an insult, and the flight attendant warned. When he told me that he would hand over the book, he threatened, "If you can do it, give it a try."
For this reason, the Captain determined that it was an act of disturbing the order in the cabin, and made a temporary landing at Niigata Airport to drop the man off.
