A woman who walked out onto the runway of Canberra Airport on Wednesday has been arrested by Australian Federal Police.
The traveller allegedly attempted to board the domestic QantasLink flight to Adelaide when she ventured onto the tarmac to stop the plane leaving.
The incident was witnessed by onlookers travelling through the Australian Capital Territoryâs main transport hub, many of whom assumed she was running very late.
One witness, Dennis Billic, described the incident as âmild chaosâ.
Others said it was âlucky the pilot was warned or spotted her and killed the engineâ.
Simon Hales, who was on a departing flight, had a clear view of the errant passenger assumed she had âmissed her flight and decided she could still catch itâ.
The Vienna meltdown was recorded by onlookers after the traveller and her companion were deplaned from an EVA service from Heathrow to Bangkok after their behaviour forced crew to divert to the Austrian airport.
Fellow passengers said that the couple had got into an argument on the plane and were âloudly discussing moneyâ. The woman claimed to have ÂŁ5000 ($10,250) in cash on her person, cash she began throwing in fistfulls at her male travel companion when they were kicked off the plane.
This story was updated at 11:40am, 3 November to reflect the fact the woman was not a Qantas customer.
