  • Qantas passenger kicked off a flight for abusing and swearing at cabin crew
  • Videos posted to Tik Tok showed the encounter on a Denpasar to Sydney flight

A Qantas passenger has been kicked off a flight for swearing at cabin crew after he claimed they were rude to his wife and child and made them cry.

The passenger and his family were removed from their October 20, Qantas QF44 Denpasar to Sydney flight for abusing crew ‘a number of times prior to the flight departing Bali’, a Qantas spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.

The footage, posted to TikTok by @drewalden75 showed an irate man taking aim at flight attendants and getting increasingly worked up as they told him security would remove him and his family from the aircraft.

The man is heard telling the flight attendant, ‘tell them to come apologise. I am telling you right now you are being rude, and it’s f****** disgusting’.

‘They made her cry and she’s crying because they were being rude to her with a newborn baby apologise,’ the man said.

‘Tell them to come apologise now. It’s so disgusting what they did to her.’

The angry encounter continued to escalate after the visibly agitated man was informed by a flight attendant police had arrived and were going to remove him.

‘I’m sorry we are not taking you, the police are here,’ the Qantas flight attendant is heard telling the man.

‘Bring them here, you can force my kids out if you want to. You are making my wife cry and now you are getting angry at me,’ the man retorted.

‘Unfortunately sir you were swearing at my crew. Unfortunately we can’t take you,’ the flight attendant replied. 

‘I told you sir, you were swearing at my crew.’

‘You can’t upset my crew.’

The man, now furious yelled, ‘You cant upset my family and kids, what are you on about you cant upset my crew my wife is crying.’

‘I get it the customers aren’t important. Tell security to come and take you out as well.’

The flight attendant approached him asking him to repeat himself to which he angrily told her to ‘get out of my face, get the hell out of my face’.

‘Who do you think you are you aren’t the police, why are you talking to me like you’re someone.

‘Do you think you are a prince or something?’

A Qantas spokesperson said cabin crew followed procedure and travel bans may be imposed when the altercation is reviewed by a panel.

‘These passengers were removed from the aircraft after abusing our crew a number of times prior to the flight departing Bali,’ the Qantas spokesperson said.

‘The safety of our customers and crew is our number one priority and we do not tolerate any kind of abusive behaviour.

‘We ask customers to follow the direction of crew for the safety and comfort of everyone on board.’

The TikTok footage public opinion as users debated who was in the wrong. 

‘He’s right I would do the same thing if someone disrespect my family,’ one person commented.

‘Stuck up for his family , crew in the wrong,’ wrote a second.

‘I understand his intentions, standing up for a lady. But he should have gone about it differently,’ another said.

‘People don’t understand that once you start yelling you become a flight risk. They cannot depart with you on board,’ commented a fourth.

‘He should complain to customer service; not make an entire plane load of people feel uncomfortable,’ another user said.
