Scoot removes woman from S’pore-bound flight after disruptive behaviour, passengers clap
A woman was removed from a Scoot flight bound for Singapore after she was reportedly involved in disruptive behaviour, causing the flight to be delayed by about two hours.
The incident took place on Scoot flight TR905, which was travelling from Macau to Singapore with 173 passengers on board.
A video circulating online showed the woman being escorted off the aircraft by police officers and members of the cabin crew. Some passengers could be heard clapping as she was taken away.
Flight delayed by around two hours
The flight had originally been scheduled to depart at about 6.45pm. However, passengers were kept waiting until approximately 8.45pm following the incident.
A video uploaded to Xiaohongshu by a user named Momo showed the woman leaving the aircraft while accompanied by authorities and Scoot crew members.
The footage reportedly attracted hundreds of reactions and comments online, with the caption highlighting the two-hour delay caused by the incident.
It was not immediately clear from the footage what had happened inside the aircraft or what specific behaviour had led to the woman being removed.
Passenger handed over to authorities in Macau
Scoot confirmed that the incident involved flight TR905 and said the passenger was handed over to the authorities at Macau International Airport.
The airline did not provide details about the nature of the disturbance or the actions allegedly carried out by the passenger.
Scoot apologised to passengers for the delay and inconvenience caused by the incident.
The airline has not indicated whether the passenger will face any charges, while investigations into the incident remain ongoing.
Passengers react as woman escorted away
The video showed several passengers remaining seated as the woman was escorted through the aircraft and towards the exit.
Some passengers could be heard applauding as she was removed from the flight, apparently in reaction to the prolonged disruption.
The incident comes amid continued attention on disruptive passenger behaviour, which can result in delays and require airlines to involve airport security or local authorities.
Authorities in Macau are understood to be handling the matter, while further details about the incident have yet to be released.
