A child who would not sit down disrupted the tail end of a recent flight from Hong Kong to Kaohsiung. The plane was getting ready for landing in Taiwan, when the pilot requested air traffic control to delay landing, as the child was not seated. The flight did an extra circle and ultimately landed safely. But the incident has gone viral online, with people weighing in on what they would have done if they had been passengers on the plane. Let’s hear more.

Voice of pilot
Speaking to air traffic control
I have been informed that there is a child who is not seated, which means we cannot proceed with landing. I would like to request a go-around.

Parent
Would sit child down
I would maybe hold the kid down. Children’s ears often hurt during landing. After a certain age, it’s very hard to keep them seated alone and with the seatbelt fastened.

Parent
Would calm kid down
I think you should try to soothe the kid, as much as possible. You shouldn’t disrupt all the other passengers on the plane.

In this instance, they were at quite a high altitude before landing, so they had the time. The pilot requested permission from air traffic control to circle around, to handle the situation. Once all the passengers, including the child, were safely seated, the pilot then continued with the landing. Everything they did was in accordance with standard operating procedures.

A retired pilot says that the aircraft’s pilot was following established rules. He also urged travelers to heed all instructions from flight attendants, to ensure a safe journey.
