Shock in the air
Passenger attacked purser on AUA flight
On flight OS90 from Newark (US state of New Jersey) to Vienna, a business class passenger attacked a purser on Monday.
"The passenger began to behave disproportionately during the flight", Austrian Airlines announced in a statement. The AUA employee - pursers are responsible for scheduling the flight attendants on board - had to receive medical treatment.
Man suffers from fear of flying
The crew had de-escalated the man in advance. He is said to suffer from a fear of flying. Turbulence over the Atlantic is likely to have exacerbated this.
Police already on site before landing
The passenger was eventually calmed down. The Boeing 787 landed in Vienna on schedule after the night-time incident on board. The police were already waiting for the plane.
