IS FLY CEMAIR ALLOWED TO THROW A PASSENGER OUT?
IOL confirms that TV personality Shamiso Mosaka boarded Fly CemAir flight 5Z 0329 in Durban and was thrown out by police.
Lawful Living reports that it’s a crime to assault or threaten, whether physically or verbally, or behave in a violent manner towards any person, when you are on a plane.
This includes a crew member, if it is likely to endanger the safety or security of an aircraft or anyone on board. It is also a crime to commit any nuisance, or disorderly or indecent act.
The MTV Base media personality trended on Monday after she shared her ordeal with CemAir on her Instagram on Sunday.
“I was not once vulgar, or inappropriate, or disruptive or disrespectful to anyone on the plane,” she told police in the viral video.
Mosaka also revealed that she would not be getting off the flight unless she was booked on another flight.
Briefly reports that she was forcefully removed after disputes with CemAir flight attendants after she heard her saying the f-word on a phone.
The South African reached out to Shamiso and Fly CemAir for a comment before publishing this article. They were not available for a comment.
