Hong Kong Airlines teaching Kung Fu to cabin crews
Wants to protect them against irate passengers.
Hong Kong Airlines took the unusual precaution after experiencing an average three attacks from passengers a week. Chinese government authorities noted that no airport in China has managed to keep more than 50%, leading angered passengers to vent their frustrations on cabin crews.
Only 18% of the 22,000 flights from Beijing’s Capital airport ran on time, making it the worst in the world.
Hong Kong Airlines is teaching cabin crews wing chun, a form of Kung Fu. Airline staff have invented a new phrase to describe irate passengers, “king nu zu,” which translates as “air rage tribe.”
