As reported by Express, the passenger was an Indonesian pilot from another carrier. He was very intoxicated and ended up biting one of the flight attendant’s fingers. At first, the crew members asked him to calm down. Instead, the “ask” must have triggered him as he decides to chomp down on the crew member’s finger instead. Eventually, the plane was forced to land in Kuala Lumpur instead of Jakarta.

In a statement from Turkish Airlines, they stated the employee’s behavior was in no way a representation of the company’s core values.
