Woman gets 6-month flight ban for filming video near aircraft

The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said the ban applies on both domestic and foreign airlines until February 16 next year.

It said the unidentified woman, who flew from Phu Quoc to Can Tho on May 18, had indulged in “disruptive behavior” and “did not comply with aviation safety and public order regulations.”

She has also been fined by the Southern Airports Authority for not complying with airport security personnel’s instructions.

On May 18, as a bus carried passengers from the terminal to an airplane, the woman ran out into the tarmac to film a video for uploading on social media.

Security personnel ordered her to return to safety, warning her that airplane engines are capable of sucking in people who venture too close.
