The incident occurred on January 29, 2026, aboard Thai AirAsia flight FD647 from Nha Trang to Bangkok. According to reports, the 41-year-old man began acting abnormally after speaking with another passenger, repeatedly running to and from the lavatory, shouting profanities in Russian, and demanding that the cabin door be opened. He resisted crew attempts to calm him, yelling, “Don’t touch me,” and appeared heavily intoxicated.
