Bangkok-bound Lufthansa flight diverted to Delhi due to unruly passenger behaviour

Munich-Bangkok Lufthansa flight number LH772 was diverted to Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Wednesday(Nov 29, 2023) at 10:26 am, due to a harsh argument between a couple on board. According to the sources, a German man and his Thai wife broke out mid-air during the flight from Munich to Bangkok.

“The person in question was handed over to authorities. The flight to Bangkok is expected to continue subsequently with minor delays. Safety and security on board for our passengers and crew is our top priority,” the German airline said.

As per the reports, the 53-year old German man allegedly “threw food, tried to burn a blanket using a lighter, shouted at his wife and did not follow the instructions issued by the crew” so the pilot diverted the flight and the man was later offloaded by Central Industrial Security Force personnel. Whereas the wife was travelling on a different PNR ticket and intended to continue her journey to Bangkok, they said.
