Passengers Ravished from Air-route on SAA Flight

A South African Airways flight headed to Hong Kong from Johannesburg were allegedly robbed where the passengers were sleeping, this week.
The incident happened on Monday. The passengers lost their cash and jewellery in the robbery. Atleast 2 people complained.
South Africa’s TimesLive reports that some passengers told the cabin crew during the flight, their valuables, stowed in the overhead compartments, had gone missing and they saw some of their fellow travelers rummaging through overhead bins.
Tlali said, “two passengers approached our crew complaining that they had lost their valuables.”
“One of the complainants was able to point out a few passengers who had behaved in a suspicious manner in the cabin and who were seen opening some overhead compartments while other passengers were sleeping.”
After landing tha plane, Hong Kong police searched the suspectious but nothing was found during the search. The suspected were released.
The complained items were found later, by the cleaning staffs.
Tlali said, “SAA would not hesitate to impose a ban on any passengers who were reported to have breached its conditions of carriage as they formed part of the rights and responsibilities between the airline and its customers.”
Robbing is not the first time that passengers on board South African Airways have been targeted.
