Today at 2.30pm at Queenstown International Airport, a domestic flight bound for Auckland was delayed for 15 minutes while a 47 year old Nz male passenger could be off loaded due to bad behaviour.
AirNZ In-Flight Service Manager Graham Schist advised Police that the passenger had become argumentative after being asked to move seats.
A Police officer boarded the aircraft, and at request of the Flight Captain, removed the male. The male was cooperative and charges are not being considered.
