PASANGAN yang ketinggalan pesawat berlari ke landasan dan mencoba menahan pesawat yang siap tinggal landas (take off).
Mereka mendorong bagasi mereka saat keduanya mengejar pesawat jet komersial yang bersiap menuju landasan di Bandara Internasional Capital Beijing.
Pasangan yang tidak disebutkan namanya itu tampak berdiri di depan roda pesawat penumpang yang harus meninggalkan landasan menuju Shanghai pagi ini pada pukul 09:30 waktu setempat.
Laporan mengatakan mereka mengabaikan peringatan dari awak darat yang terpaksa memanggil polisi bandara.
Sang istri terlihat jongkok di bawah pesawat saat ia memohon kepada petugas untuk mengijinkan dia dan suaminya naik ke pesawat.
Ulah mereka mengakibatkan jadwal penerbangan tertunda sekitar 20 menit sebelum keduanya ditangkap.
Mereka berdua berpendapat bahwa informasi waktu naik ke pesawat tidak pernah jelas - meskipun tiket China Air yang mereka miliki berisi semua informasi yang diperlukan.
Laporan setempat mengatakan keduanya akan ditahan selama lima hingga 10 hari dan akan didenda Rp1,1 juta (500 renminbi).
Mereka juga menghadapi ancaman dilarang menggunakan jasa penerbangan seperti dilansir The Sun.
A COUPLE who missed their flight ran onto the runway and blocked the plane from taking off.
They wheeled their luggage as they chased the huge jet while it was taxiing at Beijing Capital International Airport.
The unnamed pair were pictured standing in front of the wheels of the passenger airliner which was due to take off for Shanghai at 9.30am local time this morning.
Reports say they ignored warnings from ground crew who were forced to call airport police.
The wife was seen squatting under the plane as she begged officials to let her and her husband on board.
She delayed the flight for about 20 minutes before both were arrested.
They both argued that their boarding times had not been made clear — despite their Air China tickets containing all necessary information.
Local reports say the couple will be detained for between five and ten days and will be fined 500RMB (£57).
They also run the risk of receiving a flight ban.
