An “aggressive” Korean Air passenger was restrained by cabin crew after attempting to open the emergency exit door during a flight to South Korea on Friday (8 November).

Flight KE658 from Bangkok to Seoul was reportedly an hour into its almost five-and-a-half-hour journey when an unidentified man reached for the emergency exit door handle after refusing to move from a crew-only jumpseat.
