In the article it is mentioned that on board were 2 passengers who are brothers, one had an ANA ticket and the other one a United airlines ticket. ANA and United share trips.
The flight was 4 hours into an 11 hour flight. It seems not logical to me at all that an airline would return that flight, wasting the time of their clients and money on fuel (for 8 hours).
I would understand it if it would be returning because of a missing passenger with baggage (because of the risk that a bomb would be in the luggage). But not if you have one more passenger on board, I would say no problem at all... you get to Tokyo and your luggage stays in LAX... period.
This seems more like they wanted to intercept those brothers and have them back in the US. As if they were wanted for something... I am not aware of any regulation regarding returning and spending half a million USD in fuel for nothing...
Somebody knows more?
common sense is not that common in the aviation industry. One of the reason most airlines have loses year after year.
Hahaha... yeah... imagine they would have been 6 or 7 hours in the flight and would have not arrived back home in the US because of too few fuel... regulations can kill!
yes and they could not think if it would make sense to send that one guy back from the destination instead of wasting a day or maybe more for the other 100s of passengers.
🌷HAPPY NEW YEAR 🌷
Usually it's the pilot's choice once the plane takes off on how to handle any in-air situation. This became a very interesting situation seeing that the pilot turned around. I'd like to know more now, too!
Granted, the pilot wasn't even halfway to his destination, so returning to LAX was technically the fastest way to get the passenger off the plane..
probably airline wants to make a hot topic. so they did it ;) only 1/2 fuel wasted ;) @mexbit

They wasted 8/11 you have to multiply 4h by 2....
Thanks for resteeming!
thanks for upvot and resteem
Oh yeah, today's situations that occur in airlines in relation to the passenger are simply shocking, everything is already messed up, money and common sense can not find a common language and this is a constant practice. Thank you @mexbit and Happy New Year!
merry christmas :D
Yeah i think this is great post.
Your posts always amaze me.
Every time i see your post, i always feel happy and happy.
(Upvote & resteem buddy.)
sound judgment isn't that fundamental in the flight business. One of the reason most bearers have loses an apparently interminable measure of time.
Its a great informational post.Thanks for share.
Upvote & resteem buddy.
great news..I heard that news.So sad.
@oliviaalexa
Happy New year..
thanks and back please.
@mexbit - Sir, the god gave a brain to every human skull is to think... These people looks forget about that gift :) They wasted time & money for nothing... Nice you decided to share it Sir...
+W+ [UpVoted & ReSteemed]
That is so stupid wow. They just spent way more on traveling back, and 4 hours into flight? Maybe they were trying to cover a bigger issue or something. Its a billion dollar industry don't they would turn back and waste so much time and money on the fuel. I would get it if they saw the passenger as a threat, it would make sense then. Thanks for sharing this it just makes me cringe when people do something so stupid at times :P
so sad news really .
Lmao we can say that #Thuglife hahaha
yeah, i heard that news but now it is all clear, happy new year...
this is nothing airlines stop people for not having birth certificate this is rediculious but anyways May this New Year brings you a peace filled life, warmth and togetherness in your family and much prosperity! Happy New Year!
How this will go if cases like these will increase daily :(

Airline companies suck, they have no respect for their clients and they keep on humilating them. I'm quite sure these brothers did nothing wrong, but for heaven'sake 4 hours into the air now let's go back to the US if i were a passenger on this plane i will definitely sue both companies.
wow now whose mistake is that lol
this sounds really awkward how messed up the situation really is
airlines would face massive lost in recent times for sure they are not improving
Their was no logic at all for sure how they works ?? resteemed
Lol It does indeed seems a little odd ,Where were the Staffs when the passengers boarded the plane !
That's why i catch only direct flights hahah
they don't even think about the economy and profit then how they will care about customers
lol what did they just did inane
complete mess up scenario
once you have a confirmed reservation, you are confirmed on the flight even if there is no record of your reservation in the airline’s computer system. If you have a ticket or print-out that shows a confirmed reservation for a specific flight and date — and as long as you didn’t cancel the reservation or miss a reconfirmation deadline — an agent cannot deny you boarding because you have no reservation in the computer. However, if you don’t show up for a flight and fail to cancel the reservation, you are considered a no-show and the airline can cancel any continuing or return reservations.
I think in this case it is obvious... I think they wanted someone on the flight back in the US...
You can throw him out the door at 6000 feet as well! ;)
But seriously... they could have brought him to Tokyo and that is it. his flight went there as well...
thanks for happy new year happy all.
Wow, I guess I missed this comment... great minds think alike ☺
