Transiting from there, the group was to board a connecting flight to Shanghai's Pudong Airport.<br /><br />The flight from Singapore was however, grounded due to technical issues and the group only managed to board their flight nine hours later.<br /><br />One of the affected passengers, Ms Luo Jing, from Shenzhen, revealed what led to the commotion.<br /><br />According to Ms Luo, Hong Kong Airlines staff had failed to inform the passengers that the delay was due to technical issues. The staff had supposedly told passengers that the plane will be delayed for only 45 minutes due to a cleanup.<br /><br />The passengers were only informed later on that the plane had technical issues. After this, the group received no more information and claimed that they were ignored for the next several hours.<br /><br />The group complained that they were starving by the time airline staff deigned to give out meal vouchers at about 7pm in the evening. They also believed that the eateries in Changi Airport deliberately raised food prices when serving them.<br /><br />After dinner, the passengers discovered their flight gate was still closed and could not find any airline staff to answer their queries. Two to three more hours later, they were so angry they decided to protest and force airline staff to appear by blocking the passage to the flight gates.<br /><br />This resulted in arguments and scuffles between the Chinese national group and other travellers trying to make use of the passage.<br /><br />The police were then called in to manage the situation and to calm the group.<br /><br />But the complaints didn't end there.<br /><br />The Chinese national tourists also complained that the police officers looked like they were intending to draw their pistols and use handcuffs on them.<br /><br />They even alleged that a female police officer deliberately drove a luggage buggy at them and injured an old woman, who may have broken a finger.<br /><br />They also said the police shouted \"This is Singapore!\" at them.<br /><br />Even after departing Singapore about nine hours later, the group continued to make their frustrations known.<br /><br />About 80 of them refused to alight from the plane after reaching Hong Kong.<br /><br />The majority eventually relented after the airline agreed to compensate them, but 20 passengers still refused to budge from the plane<br /><br />The Hong Kong airport also alerted local police to control the group.<br /><br />The matter was eventually resolved when the airline agreed to compensate each passenger between S$200 to S$280.<br /><br />The Changi Airport management has clarified that police officers did not draw their pistols during the incident. Meanwhile, it is investigating the incident.<br /><br />Source: Shin Min Daily News, 17 November 2011.
