Reportedly, the aircraft, which was scheduled to arrive in Jakarta, on Tuesday, October 11, at 5 p.m. (local time) was diverted over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and later landed at Kualanamu International Airport in Medan. The plane was able to take off once more and reach its destination at approximately 8 pm (local time) after the passenger who is thought to have started the conflict was restrained and led off the aircraft. Notably, many reports suggest that the passenger was also injured during the ruckus and therefore he was deboarded and was later taken to the medical facility.
Coming to what action is being taken in the incident, KabarPenumpang reported that the Deli Serdang Police, which is active in the Medan region, is now looking into the event.
