A VIOLENT fight between two passengers forced a plane carrying 200 people from Zurich to Beijing to turn back at the weekend after more than six hours in the air, the airline Swiss said.
"The two passengers were handed over to the police of the canton of Zurich after the Airbus A340 landed Sunday evening,'' Mehdi Guenin, spokesman for the airline, said.
According to the online edition of Swiss-German daily Blick, the two passengers were Chinese citizens, aged 27 and 57.
They are set to be interrogated by police today.
The plane was just east of Moscow when the pilot decided to turn it around, according to the spokesman, who said the pilot had opted to head back to Zurich instead of making an emergency landing in Moscow to avoid administrative difficulties.
Swiss put up the plane's 200 passengers at a Zurich hotel, before placing them on Beijing flights with other companies, since its own flight to the Chinese capital was already fully booked.
A spokesman for Zurich police said alcohol had played a role in the fight.
【资讯快讯】
据报道,由于机上两名男乘客斗殴,2日晚瑞士国际航空公司(Swiss International Air Lines Ltd.)一架从苏黎世飞往北京的客机被迫返航。该机搭载了200名乘客,当时已经飞行6个多小时。
瑞士国际航空发言人表示,这架空中客车A340客机安全降落苏黎世后,两名旅客被警方带走。而据瑞士媒体报道,这两名乘客为中国人,分别为27岁和57岁。4日警方将对他们进行讯问。
斗殴事件发生时,客机已经位于莫斯科东部上空。出于飞行安全考虑,以及因多数乘客可能没有俄罗斯签证而难以安排住宿等事宜,机长决定返航。客机返航后,瑞士国际航空公司为机上其他旅客安排好住宿,并为他们预定了3日前往北京的机票。
