The Police Division of Hanoi’s Dong Da District has recommended the demotion for Captain Le Thi Hien who insulted the airport staff, kicked and pulled the hair of a security agent, and disturbed the check-in desk order last month.
Le Thi Hien caused disorder at Tan Son Nhat International Airport
The video about her unacceptable behaviour outraged the public.
Investigation from the police revealed that the incident occurred on August 11 when Hien came to check in for a Vietnam Airlines flight to Hanoi.
She got angry when staff at the airport refused to transport her fifth suitcase in the free baggage allowance.
Following her insulting the staff, Vietnam Airlines refused to transport her on her flight that day. And on August 17, she was then fined VND200,000.
After that, she was suspended her for a month for displaying behaviour that violated public etiquette for People’s Police personnel.
She has also faced a one-year flight ban.
The demotion has been submitted to the Hanoi Department of Police for decision.
