A man shocked airline crew and his fellow passengers by opening a plane's emergency exit door moments before take-off "to get some fresh air", The man who was sat at the rear of the plane said it was too stuffy.
The flight was originally meant to take off at 9:55am from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport but because of the disruption, ended up departing at 10:52 in the morning.
This incident is the latest in a spate of plane passenger drama. In January last year, two Chinese passengers decided to open a plane's emergency exit doors in protest of flight delays. The act landed the both of them in prison.
A man onboard a KLM flight was also arrested last September when he mistook the plane's exit door for a toilet door.
