Passengers on AirAsia flight AK6310 from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Langkawi were left fuming after a foreign passenger threw a tantrum, leading to delays and frustration among those onboard.

The flight, scheduled to depart at 9:10am, was plagued by cargo issues, which pushed back its takeoff time. As impatience grew among the passengers, one foreign passenger reportedly became increasingly agitated, eventually directing insults at the flight crew members.

Tensions reached their peak when a TikTok user, identified as Sophian (@SophianAzmi), captured the disruptive incident on video. In the footage, the foreign passenger could be seen engaged in a heated argument with security personnel who were attempting to address the situation. Despite orders to disembark, he adamantly refused to leave his seat.

As the scene unfolded, fellow passengers started mocking and scolding the unruly traveler for causing further delays. Another TikTok user, Sue (@mdmsue03), was seated beside the disruptive passenger and recorded her own video. In her footage, the foreign passenger denied insulting the crew members and refused to comply with the captain’s request to speak outside the aircraft.

“I didn’t insult, bro. Tell the captain I didn’t insult nobody,” the foreign passenger asserted to one of the security personnel. He even challenged an unknown individual to settle the matter outside the plane, prompting fellow passengers to urge him to exit the aircraft.

After a discussion with the pilot, the foreign passenger was allowed to return to his seat. The flight eventually departed for Langkawi at around 10:10am. However, his disruptive behavior did not end there. Throughout the flight, he continued to test the patience of his fellow passengers.

Upon landing at Langkawi, the foreign passenger began yelling “Cowards!” without directing his outburst at anyone in particular. Some passengers expressed a desire to confront him at the Langkawi airport, but he swiftly disappeared or fled the scene.
