Another passenger throws coins into the aircraft engine to pray for blessings: China Southern Airlines responds to the 4-hour delay in departure
According to reports on March 7, a domestic passenger was caught throwing coins into the engine of a China Southern Airlines plane, causing a 4-hour delay in departure.
The incident took place on March 6 in Sanya, Hainan, when a passenger on flight CZ8805 from Sanya to Daxing threw coins into the engine, resulting in the delay. China Southern Airlines confirmed the incident, stating that the coins were retrieved and the passenger was handed over to the authorities. The aircraft underwent a thorough inspection, leading to the lengthy delay.
This act of throwing coins into airplanes carries serious legal consequences. According to the “Public Security Management Punishment Law,” individuals disrupting airport order can face up to 10 days of detention and a fine of up to 500 yuan.
A case cited by the China Judgment Documents Network involved a passenger, Lu, who threw coins at an airplane and was detained for 10 days. Additionally, they were ordered to compensate the airline with more than 10,000 yuan. The superstition behind this act stems from the belief that throwing coins can bring blessings during air travel.
Experts caution against such actions and emphasize the need for civil aviation departments and airlines to educate passengers on safety measures and discourage superstitious practices that could jeopardize aviation safety.
