Woman opens emergency exit and climbs onto plane wing after feeling too hot on flight

A woman opened the emergency exit on a plane and climbed onto the wing to cool down just after the flight had landed. The unnamed passenger had flown from Antalya, Turkey, to Kiev, Ukraine, with Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) when the incident occurred. After complaining of being too hot, she “opened the emergency exit and went on to the wing”, the airline said. “A passenger of flight PS6212 Antalya-Kyiv illegally opened the emergency exit of the plane after it stopped near gate 11 of terminal D and went on to its wing,” said UIA. “The passenger was flying on a charter vacation with her husband and children. The chief pilot immediately summoned the aviation security, border service, police and medical centre of Boryspil Airport.” Witnesses also confirmed seeing the woman open the exit door above the wing when the flight on 31 August had touched down, before climbing out and walking up and down it. The carrier said the woman should have to pay an ”exceptionally high financial penalty“ for her behaviour.<br/>
