Singapore-bound flight delayed in Macau as disruptive Scoot passenger removed to travellers’ applause

On September 27, a Scoot flight from Macau to Singapore encountered a disruption when a disruptive passenger was removed from the aircraft. The incident occurred during the flight's preparation for departure from Macau International Airport, as reported by The Straits Times. Scoot confirmed that the passenger was handed over to local authorities before the plane departed at 8.46pm local time, with all other passengers remaining on board and receiving refreshments.

Video footage of the passenger's removal surfaced on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu on September 28. The video showed a woman being escorted off the plane by uniformed officers and Scoot crew members, with the sound of applause from fellow travelers in the background. Although Scoot declined to provide details about the passenger's disruptive behavior, the incident is believed to have caused a two-hour delay to the flight.

As of now, Macau police have not released a statement regarding the matter.
