A flight attendant called on passengers to subdue a woman demanding a business class upgrade.

The woman refused to take no for an answer as cabin crew refused her demands on board the flight from St Petersburg to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt.

The angry passenger shouted at staff for Russian flag carrier Aeroflot: ‘I’m in pain in my butt,I’m in pain in my tits.’

She continued: ‘I came here. I want my business class.’

A clip of the incident on flight SU734 showed her yelling: ‘But I need a business class because I was working.’

It was also reported that she stripped her shirt on the six-hour flight and threatened to open an emergency exit door of the A330 in protest.

Desperate to end her tantrum,the crew turned to other passengers to overpower her.

Two beefy men are seen restraining the woman and pushing her back into her seat.

According to the Aviatorshchina channel,the scenes reached ’18+ content’.

It wrote: ‘To get to the coveted seats,the passenger began taking off her T-shirt,hoping at least that would work.

‘The stewardesses first tried to manage on their own,but the brawler wouldn’t give in.’

The report added that the woman was subsequently moved to the rear of the plane and then handed to police on arrival.

Air rage,aggressive or violent behaviour by passengers,is a frequent problem dealt with by airlines.

It can be caused by several factors,from fear of flying to alcohol abuse.

A study by the University of Columbia suggested that inequality between travel classes could be a cause behind some instances of air rage.

Some airlines have introduced travel blacklists to ban unruly passengers from flights for a duration of time. For example,on Dutch flag carrier KLM disruptive travellers can be banned from the airline for five years.

Metro has approached Aeroflot for comment.
