Pushy passengers attacked by furious fellow traveller over rude in-flight behaviour: ‘Garbage people’

Passengers disembarking a plane got more than they bargained for when a dispute between travellers and a flight attendant spilled over into the terminal.

Travellers disembarking a no-frills airline got more than they bargained for when a deplaning dispute between passengers and a flight attendant spilt over into the terminal.

The budget liner brouhaha began brewing on-board, when a young couple with two children began expressing their displeasure with the speed of their fellow flyers at the end of a Hong Kong Airlines flight from Bali to Hong Kong — hurling insults and calling them “garbage people”.

A passenger attacking a couple who engaged in an argument with a flight attendant while exiting a flight.

The drama continued as the unhappy customers moved onto the jet bridge, deliberately bumping into people and fussing about everyone being too slow, What’s The Jam reported.

They then escalated their argument to a crew member — which is when another passenger decided to get involved, attempting to dispense some swift sky justice to the miserable mum and dad.

In a video shared online, the irritated intervener can be seen shouting at the contemptuous couple — before lashing out at them physically.

The knight in shining armour tries to land a punch on the husband, who manages to dodge him, with the poorly-mannered pair then attempting to push the flight attendant out of the way so they can vacate the scene.

At this point, other passengers now get involved, trying to break up the argument — with one trying to calm the instigating couple down.

The video appeared online days ago — and was reportedly taken at some point within the last week.

No further details were available — including whether or not law enforcement were called to intervene.

Viewers of the crummy clip, which was widely circulated on Chinese social media and in traditional media outlets, were quick to express their unhappiness with the couple’s behaviour.

“Airlines should blacklist them in order to avoid any delay or return because of them in the future,” one wrote.

“Now having a child seems to be a reason to lose your temper casually,” another mused.

“The captain can ask them to get off the plane, flight safety is threatened,” someone else suggested.
