Passengers were left outraged on a recent international flight after a woman allegedly stopped cabin crew from closing the doors for takeoff.
In footage provided by witnesses, the woman can be seen sitting on the jet bridge while being spoken to by a member of staff.
An eyewitness on the flight, travelling from Bangkok to Shanghai, has claimed that the woman was holding up the flight because her daughter had not arrived yet.
The daughter is believed to have been late for the flight because she was shopping in duty free.
She also alleges that the daughter who was shopping called airport police to stop the plane from taking off without her.
Chinese budget carrier Spring Airlines has since confirmed the incident did occur, however, did not disclose details of the genders of the people or their relation.
The flight, which was meant to take off at 3:30 was delayed by 30 minutes.
The passengers are believed to have agreed to sacrifice their journey following the incident.
According to media reports, some of which included a video clip posted on Wednesday, flight 9C8892 of China's Spring Airlines from Suvarnabhumi to Shanghai was delayed for 30 minutes.
They said a mother lay down on an aerobridge to prevent the flight carrying 160 other passengers from closing its door and taking off because her daughter was still shopping inside the Bangkok airport.
The flight eventually took off after the pair agreed to switch to another flight.
The video clip was initially distributed through China's social media. Reports said many local people condemned the behaviour and demanded aviation organisations blacklist the two people.
