On July 19th, a passenger released a leaked video claiming that a plane of Hunan Airlines only discovered no refueling after takeoff, and the passengers on board were also kicked off, which attracted widespread attention.
The video shows many passengers inside the plane getting up one after another, suspected to be preparing to disembark. The video caption reads "Hunan Airlines, the plane started to take off with extra force, and suddenly remembered forgetting to refuel!"
The passengers in the plane gradually got up. The netizen who posted the video replied in the comment section that everyone heard the onboard broadcast saying to go back and refuel, and then the plane slid back and refueled, and he and others were also kicked off.
Jiupai News contacted the relevant person in charge of Hunan Airlines, who said that the flight A67231 from Nanjing to Baoshan on July 19 was temporarily delayed due to rainstorm. After the safety inspection of civil aviation flights, there is no situation where it is impossible to fly without fuel.
