- Two passengers were taken off an Eva Air flight in Vienna because of their "unruly behavior."
- An airline spokesperson said the passengers had to be restrained on board.
- A video shows a woman throwing what appears to be cash all over the tarmac at Vienna Airport.
Two passengers were kicked off an Eva Air flight after they were disruptive on board, the airline told The Independent in a statement.
The flight was scheduled to depart from London's Heathrow and was bound for Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International in Thailand on September 30, but had to be diverted to Austria's Vienna Airport to offload the passengers, per the report.
In a video posted on YouTube by The Independent, a woman wearing a grey sweatsuit can be seen throwing what appears to be cash onto the tarmac in Vienna. A male passenger also dressed in a grey sweatsuit can be seen picking up the items.
"Oh, look at that money! £5,000, that's what she said," a male voice can be heard saying in the video. Insider was not able to independently verify what was being picked up from the tarmac in the video.
An Eva Air spokesperson told the Australian news site News.com.au that the woman had tried moving from her seat in economy to a seat in premium economy and refused to pay for the upgrade. The spokesperson said the man who was traveling with her later smoked an e-cigarette on the flight.
"Our flight attendants took quick action to stop these passengers but encountered inappropriate insults and physical abuse," the airline spokesperson told News.com.au, adding that the two passengers were "successfully restrained" with the help of eight other passengers.
Eva Air did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
