On May 3rd, a man caused a flight delay of over 2 hours by occupying a seat on the plane due to crowded conditions, and was eventually detained for 7 days.

According to the "Peaceful Hubei" public account, a man occupied a seat on the plane due to crowded conditions, causing a delay of 2 hours and 23 minutes, and was ultimately administratively detained for 7 days.

"I deeply regret it now. I shouldn't have acted impulsively, ignored advice, and disrupted the order of the cabin by occupying a seat at will," said the individual involved.

The announcement mentioned that the crew of the flight from Wuhan to Hohhot reported that a passenger on the flight was occupying a seat, refused to comply with advice, and disrupted the normal order of the aircraft.

After receiving the report, the airport police station immediately initiated the response plan, organized police forces to arrive at the scene as soon as possible, and escorted the passenger involved, Mr. Chen, off the plane to minimize the impact on the flight.

In accordance with the relevant provisions of the "People's Republic of China Law on Administrative Penalties for Public Security", Mr. Chen was punished with a 7-day administrative detention by the Hubei Airport Public Security Bureau for disrupting the order on public transportation. s_48f00dd417594e8bb184ffbae193036a.jpg
