Cardboard box row delays Batik Air flight to Kuala Lumpur, passenger escorted off in Singapore

A Batik Air passenger was removed from a flight in Singapore due to a disagreement with cabin crew over the storage of her carry-on luggage, specifically a cardboard box.

The passenger reportedly insisted on keeping the box under her seat rather than allowing it to be stored elsewhere or handing it over to the crew.

The altercation delayed the flight's departure, requiring intervention by uniformed officers to escort the woman off the aircraft, with the incident being documented in a TikTok video.

The flight eventually took off 45 minutes later than scheduled.

SINGAPORE, Oct 2 — A Batik Air flight passenger was purportedly offloaded in Singapore following a dispute with cabin crew over the proper stowing of her carry-on baggage.

TikTok user minimanimo shared a video on Wednesday (Sept 30) of a woman being escorted out of the aircraft.

“Flight delayed because of someone uncooperative,” the caption read. “Well done, Batik Air and Singapore authorities [for handling it] professionally!”

According to her post, the woman had brought a cardboard box on board and insisted on stowing it under the seat in front of her.

A flight attendant purportedly offered to place the box on an empty seat instead, but the woman allegedly declined and refused to fasten her safety seatbelt.

Minimanimo’s video shows a flight attendant holding up the cardboard box and walking towards the front of the plane.

It cuts to another clip showing several uniformed officers standing along the aisle, surrounding a seat.

In the end, a woman is seen following the officers out of the aircraft.

Refused to hand over box

The incident occurred on Batik Air flight OD804, bound for Kuala Lumpur, on Wednesday afternoon, reported Shin Min Daily News.

According to FlightAware, the plane departed about 45 minutes after its original scheduled time of 12.30pm.

Speaking to Shin Min , a passenger surnamed Ke said the woman’s cardboard box could not fit into the overhead compartment.

The passenger said the cabin crew explained to the woman, who appeared to be in her 20s, that she could not keep the box on her body or lap.

The crew reportedly tried to persuade the woman to hand them the box, which would be returned after landing, but she refused.

About five uniformed officers subsequently boarded the plane and removed the woman.

一名巴迪克航空的乘客因与机组人员就其随身行李（具体来说是一个纸箱）的存放问题发生争执，而被赶下新加坡的航班。

据报道，该乘客坚持将盒子放在座位下，而不是允许将其存放在其他地方或交给机组人员。

这场争执导致航班延误，需要身穿制服的警员介入，将该女子护送下飞机，而这一事件被记录在了 TikTok 视频中。

航班最终比原计划晚了45分钟起飞。

新加坡，10 月 2 日——据称，一名巴迪克航空公司的乘客在新加坡被赶下飞机，原因是她与机组人员就其随身行李的正确存放方式发生了争执。

TikTok 用户 minimanimo 于周三（9 月 30 日）分享了一段视频，视频中一名女子被护送出飞机。

“航班延误是因为有人不配合，”配文写道。“巴迪克航空和新加坡当局处理得非常专业，做得好！”

根据她的帖子，这名女子带了一个纸箱上飞机，并坚持要把它放在她前面的座位下面。

据称，一名空乘人员提出将盒子放在空座位上，但该女子拒绝了，并且拒绝系安全带。

Minimanimano 的视频显示，一名空乘人员举着纸箱走向飞机前部。

镜头切换到另一个片段，画面显示几名身穿制服的警官站在过道旁，围着一个座位。

最后，可以看到一名女子跟着警官们下了飞机。

拒绝交出盒子

据《新明日报》报道，这起事件发生在周三下午，地点是巴迪航空飞往吉隆坡的OD804航班。

据 FlightAware 数据显示，该飞机比原定起飞时间下午 12:30 晚了约 45 分钟起飞。

一位姓柯的乘客在接受《新明日报》采访时表示，这名女子的纸箱放不进头顶行李架。

该乘客称，机组人员向这位看起来二十多岁的女子解释说，她不能把盒子放在身上或腿上。

据报道，机组人员曾试图说服这名女子将盒子交给他们，并在飞机着陆后归还，但她拒绝了。

随后约有五名身穿制服的警员登上飞机，并将该女子带走。
