WATCH: Police remove disruptive passenger from local flight
Another incident involving an unruly passenger on a South African flight has gone viral.
It seems that some South Africans just don't have the best luck when it comes to aeroplanes.
The latest in-flight incident to grab public attention shows a man being removed from a local flight after he allegedly disrupted the passengers.
Video footage of the incident, which was shared by TikToker @kundaimurapa, shows two men struggling in the plane's aisle.

It quickly becomes clear that one of them is escorting the other to a seat on the plane, as other passengers also try to assist.
Eventually, after continuous protests from the unruly man, another passenger steps in and uses cable ties to restrain him.
As the man sits in his seat, his hands tied in front of him, police arrive on the scene.
The disruptive man called out to the police for help, but instead of helping him, the officers removed him from the plane.
At the end of the video, @kundaimurapa explains exactly what happened during the ordeal.
He says the man was being disorderly on the flight and threatening passengers, all because he was upset about not getting the correct change for a bottle of water he bought.

"And then from there, it pivoted to him screaming about needing to be in Durban—on a Cape Town flight," he said.
"So fortunately, we had two passengers with a background in security services, and they subdued this dude.
"The captain of the flight decided we were going to divert to Bane and get this guy removed from the flight, which is what we ended up doing."
