According to foreign media such as the Hsinchu Daily and Jimu News, a male passenger opened the emergency door as soon as the Eastern Airlines flight MU5828 from Changsha, China, landed at Kunming Airport at around 8:42 a.m. on the 11th.
As a result, the emergency escape slide was unfolded, but the crew immediately responded, causing no other damage.
No one was injured, and passengers were safely removed from the aircraft about 20 minutes later.
According to witnesses, the man said he opened the door to breathe fresh air.
The passenger has been arrested by police and is under investigation.
In China, unauthorized opening of an airplane's emergency door can result in a fine of about 100,000 yuan (about 20 million won) to 200,000 yuan (about 40 million won) depending on the aircraft and the situation.
