A man who forced open the emergency exit door of a Jetstar plane moments after it landed at Melbourne Airport on Thursday morning has been arrested.
A Jetstar spokesperson said the JQ507 flight from Sydney had just landed in Melbourne about 10am when the passenger opened the emergency exit door.“We can confirm that a passenger opened the emergency exit door after arrival into Melbourne, which automatically deployed the slide,” the Jetstar spokesperson said in a statement.Witnesses said the man climbed onto the plane’s wing and jumped down in front of the engine, before being detained by three ground crew members.
“Melbourne Airport is proud of the exceptional response from ground crew, which meant there was no immediate danger to other passengers or airport staff,” the statement said.
