According to media reports, the incident allegedly occurred after the woman had an argument with her husband. When she started screaming and swearing, the man asked to be moved to another seat. This only fueled the passenger's aggression: she demanded to know where her husband was, and when refused, she began to threaten the flight attendants, throwing glasses at them and making racist remarks.
Other passengers were particularly outraged by the openly racist remarks against Fijians, with many shouting at the woman to shut up and behave
According to eyewitnesses, parents were forced to cover their children's ears. Together, the flight attendants taped the woman's mouth shut for a short time.
After some time, the man returned to her, but she continued to verbally abuse the passengers and crew. After landing in Nadi, the passenger was detained by the police. Fiji Airways confirmed the incident and reported that the case is being considered as part of a legal investigation.
