Popular Post webfact Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 Chaos Erupts on Kuwait Airways Flight from Bangkok as Passengers Clash Picture for reference only courtesy of onemileatatime. A Kuwait Airways flight from Bangkok to Kuwait was forced to return after a violent confrontation erupted among a group of female passengers from Kuwait. The situation intensified to such an extent that even the plane's security officer was assaulted. With safety being the utmost priority, the pilot made the critical decision to reroute the aircraft back to Bangkok International Airport to restore order. In the aftermath of the incident, the Public Prosecution in Kuwait swiftly acted, detaining those involved on charges of violence committed on the aircraft. However, the legal repercussions didn't end there. Further charges were added against two passengers who verbally assaulted the aircraft's protection officer. As the investigation continues, the accused face stringent interrogations, with two already handed over to the General Department of Criminal Evidence for more detailed examination. -- 2024-05-09 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term security officer, seems to be lost in translation, as Kuwait Times identified the person as air marshal. Each country will have it’s own policies on using air marshals, and which flights they are on, is mostly random or selected on intelligence received. They are not on every flight. UK air marshals are normally armed, I was told a few years ago, not sure if that has changed. Edited May 9 by Georgealbert 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight crews are trained to deal with your average nutter. There will always be a few flights where there are problems, and the plane will land or divert, and the morons get arrested or dumped in a foreign country, and normally put on a future no fly list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbra Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Some time ago,Flying Kuwait from Singapore to Kuwait.At the check-in counter an armed person was watching for trouble,another was at carry-on luggage screening. At the cabin door the guy with the machine pistol checked boarding passes. Flying into Kuwait passing the still burning oil fields a couple of fighter aircraft escorts hauled along side. Aircraft was an A320 still showing signs of wartime duties. On my return flight got bumped from Business due to some sheik taking over the whole of the forward area for his harem of 4ft tall females Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kuwaiti police are present at Bangkok Airports? Or did the Embassy dispatch them to a Thai Airport? I just don't get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
