Bali: Hijack of plane was a misunderstanding
The pilot of a Virgin Australia plane flying to Bali reported a hijacking attempt after a passenger tried to enter the cockpit, an Indonesian transport official said.
A Virgin spokesman denied the plane had been hijacked and said the passenger who tried to enter the cockpit was drunk.
The passenger acted aggressively and began pounding on the cockpit door before being handcuffed by the crew, said Heru Sudjatmiko, airport manager for Virgin Australia.
The airplane was landed safely in Bali's airport.
