- 7 years ago
Two executives with an Indonesian budget airline have resigned after the release of disturbing footage showing an Indonesian pilot staggering through an airport metal detector en route to the cockpit of his plane.
In the footage the pilot of Citilink is barely able to walk through the security check at Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, and struggles to collect his belongings from the X-ray conveyor belt.
Captain Tekad Purna was allowed to board the plane but passengers rioted when they heard him over the PA.
The pilot was later sacked.
