A Batik Air flight passenger was purportedly offloaded in Singapore following a dispute with cabin crew over the proper stowing of her carry-on baggage.<\/p>\n
TikTok user minimanimo shared a video on Wednesday (Sept 30) of a woman being escorted out of the aircraft.<\/p>\n
“Flight delayed because of someone uncooperative,” the caption read. “Well done, Batik Air and Singapore authorities [for handling it] professionally!”<\/p>\n
According to her post, the woman had brought a cardboard box on board and insisted on stowing it under the seat in front of her.<\/p>\n
A flight attendant purportedly offered to place the box on an empty seat instead, but the woman allegedly declined and refused to fasten her safety seatbelt.<\/p>\n
Minimanimo’s video shows a flight attendant holding up the cardboard box and walking towards the front of the plane.<\/p>\n
It cuts to another clip showing several uniformed officers standing along the aisle, surrounding a seat.<\/p>\n
In the end, a woman is seen following the officers out of the aircraft.<\/p>\n

Refused to hand over box<\/h2>\n
The incident occurred on Batik Air flight OD804, bound for Kuala Lumpur, on Wednesday afternoon, reported Shin Min Daily News.<\/p>\n
According to FlightAware, the plane departed about 45 minutes after its original scheduled time of 12.30pm.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Shin Min, a passenger surnamed Ke said the woman’s cardboard box could not fit into the overhead compartment.<\/p>\n
The passenger said the cabin crew explained to the woman, who appeared to be in her 20s, that she could not keep the box on her body or lap.<\/p>\n
The crew reportedly tried to persuade the woman to hand them the box, which would be returned after landing, but she refused.<\/p>\n
About five uniformed officers subsequently boarded the plane and removed the woman.<\/p>\n
