An ugly altercation between a young family and Qantas cabin crew on a flight from Bali to Sydney has gone viral, with the incident resulting in the abusive passengers being booted from the flight.
In a video filmed by a fellow traveller, a male passenger can be seen in a terse conversation with flight crew, accusing them of being rude to his wife and children.
"They made her cry and she’s crying because they were being rude to her ... with a newborn baby," he can be heard saying.
The furious man can be seen pointing at staff and demanding an apology. The issue seems to have originated over the flight crew's handling of a pram.
"I'm telling you right now they were being rude and it's f***ing disgusting," he says.
A flight attendant repeatedly asks the passenger to stop and implores him to "stop swearing" as other passengers quietly watch on.
"Tell them to come and apologize, it's so disgusting what they did to her ... and they're having a laugh about it too," he says as the flight attendant walks back down the aisle.
The plane was grounded on the tarmac at the time of the altercation, sitting at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport bound for Sydney on October 20, Qantas confirmed to Yahoo News Australia.
When the flight attendant returns, she informs the irate individual the plane will not be leaving with him on it.
"We're not taking you," she says.
"Well we're not going," the passenger fires back. "Unless you carry my kids out and force them out, we're not leaving."
When the staff mention the police, the passenger appears unperturbed. "Bring the police her, bring them here," he yells.
"Unfortunately, we can't take you," the cabin crew leader tells him again.
"Unfortunately, I'm going to wait here all night," he responds.
As other passengers begin to interject, the flight staff disengages and the video ends.
In a statement provided to Yahoo News Australia, a spokesperson for Qantas said the family was ultimately removed from the flight before take-off.
