Suvarnabhumi Airport apologizes after Chinese fan incident delays Beijing flight Suvarnabhumi Airport has apologized after a confrontation between security officers and a group of 22 Chinese passengers went viral on social media. The airport said the group, who were following a Chinese celebrity on a Thai Airways flight to Beijing on July 29, repeatedly entered restricted areas, refused security and boarding procedures, and attempted to follow the artist onto the aircraft, prompting the airline to deny them boarding over safety concerns and causing a flight delay. While the airport defended the decision to remove the passengers for violating security rules, it acknowledged that some security officers acted inappropriately during the incident. Disciplinary action has been ordered against those involved, and the airport says it will strengthen staff training and oversight to improve security operations while ensuring passengers are treated professionally. #thailand# #china# #airport# #security# #apology# #ซาแซงจีน#
