The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has fined a passenger who caused a disturbance on an American Airlines flight, the largest ever in the federal agency's history.
On the 13th local time, the New York Post reported that passenger A, who made a fuss and assaulted a flight attendant to open the boarding gate of a passenger plane in operation, was fined $80,950 (about 100 million won).
Passenger A caused a commotion on the American Airlines flight 1774, which was headed for Charlotte Douglas International Airport, North Carolina, from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Texas, USA around 1 am on July 6, last year.
He made a riot to open the emergency exit, and had an elevator fight with the flight attendants who stopped it.
Also, Mr. A did not stop the fuss, such as biting and hitting the crew.
Eventually, the crew stopped Mr. A, tied his arms and legs, and taped his mouth to stop the riot.
An American Airlines official said, "For the safety of other passengers and crew, we had no choice but to subdue Mr. A."
“The crew suddenly locked the bathroom door and started running around the plane,” said one passenger who was on board the plane.
In a video taken by another passenger, Mr. A said to the other passenger as he was getting off, "You! You! (you! you!)"
The airline, which landed the plane safely after arresting passenger A, handed over the passenger in question to emergency personnel waiting at the airport.
On the 13th local time, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, which conducted an investigation, fined passenger A of $80,950 (about 100 million won).
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration announced in January last year that it would apply the 'zero tolerance' principle to passengers who jeopardize flight safety and threaten flight safety. .
This is a 'news pick'.
