A Malay woman who was late for her flight
was so determined to change her fate, she chased after the plane she was
supposed to be on while it was about to take off.
The woman, who was at Bali's Ngurah
Rai International Airport, was bound for flight QG193 to Jakarta on 18
November, The Straits Times reported.
She arrived at the boarding gate 10
minutes before the Citilink flight was scheduled to take off at 7.20am,
according to Channel NewsAsia.
Upon realising that her flight had not yet departed, the woman ran past
security officers at the boarding gate and onto the tarmac.
A video of the
woman struggling as two airport officials held her by her arms was posted on
social media.
The woman
can be seen lying on the ground before she is restrained.
The
low-cost Indonesian airline has since confirmed the incident, but did not
address how the woman managed to pass through airport security so easily
After the
woman was declared "safe to fly," Citilink placed her on a later
flight at 4:40pm, Coconuts Bali reported.
PT
Citilink Indonesia VP Corporate & CSR Secretary Ranty Astari R denied that
the woman was given a free ticket, and explained that they merely allowed her
to reschedule her flight.
