Only after the airport police were dispatched did the pregnant woman get off.
According to Chinese media such as Dhawan News, a disturbance broke out on an aircraft belonging to Seojang Air departing from Shuangliu International Airport in Sichuan Province, China, on the 10th to Xujiazhuang Zhengding International Airport in Hebei Province.
After boarding the plane, a pregnant woman demanded special protection from the flight attendant, saying she was over 35 weeks pregnant.
In response, the flight attendant said it was difficult to board due to airline regulations for safety reasons and that they had to get off the plane.
However, the pregnant woman refused and scuffled on board.
Passengers on board at the time told local media that the pregnant woman refused to get off the plane, sticking to her seat until the end, and eventually she and her husband got off the plane after the police were dispatched.
As a result, the plane, which was originally scheduled to depart at 5:15 p.m., took off only at 6:46 p.m., and complained from passengers.
Chief Airline said that `the delay of the flight was due to passenger reasons'' and `It is difficult to determine the specific reason" he said. According to airline regulations, boarding is restricted if you are expecting more than 35 weeks of pregnancy, within 7 days of childbirth, or if you are expecting multiple pregnancies or complications, and if you are 32 weeks or more and less than 35 weeks of pregnancy, you need a medical certificate and risk bill from a medical institution.
