A woman is said have thrown $9,500 in cash at a man on an airport runway after they were escorted off a plane.
The flight had to be diverted after the couple had a fierce argument, resulting in a man being taped to his seat, passengers said.
Videos showed police escorting the pair off of the flight, but then on the runway she appears to throw cash at him. Andy Singh, 63, a grandfather who was travelling on the flight to Thailand for a month-long holiday, alleged the woman and man were already intoxicated.“The captain said ‘we have to go back to Vienna because [of] staff safety and the passengers’ safety, ladies and gentleman we have got no choice but to get back to Vienna’.
Both were put in a police van, and footage shows an officer trying to pick up some of the strewn cash. Eva Air said five hours into the flight from London “a female passenger moved her seat from Economy Class to Premium Economy Class and refused to pay for the upgrade cost”.
