She later started misbehaving with the crew members who tried to calm her down, the report added. According to Times of India, the uproar compelled the pilots to land the plane mid-way in Chennai. Qatar Airways’ Doha-Bali nonstop flight is almost 10 hours long while Chennai is midway. The couple was offloaded at the airport. The family spent the day at Chennai airport and was sent to Kuala Lumpur by a Batik Air flight. No police action was taken, Hindustan Times reported. The airline in its statement did not comment on the matter, stating the actions were taken with respect towards passenger safety, India Today reported. This incident comes a week after a Delhi-bound Jet Airways flight was diverted to the airport in Ahmedabad after a note was found on board threatening the presence of hijackers and explosives on the aircraft. The person responsible for the ’letter’ has been detained by the city police. Inspection by the bomb disposal squad found no explosive in the plane and the note turned out to be a hoax. The note , allegedly placed by Mumbai-based Gujarati jeweller Birju Salla, demanded that the pilot not land at Delhi and instead should fly the aircraft to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), stating that there were 12 hijackers and a bomb in the cargo area.
