A video has been posted on social media about a woman being restrained by flight attendants using duct tape to seal her mouth who is believed to have been screaming on board a Fiji Airways flight bound for Nadi.

According to news.com.au: “the distressed and “intoxicated” passenger – believed to be in her 60s – was filmed on flight FJ871 from San Francisco to Nadi last Saturday.”

The flight landed in Nadi on Monday, January 20 and she was met by local law enforcement and arrested.

Police has yet to confirm whether the passenger has been charged.

It is believed that another passenger who filmed the altercation and requested to remain anonymous, said airline staff were forced to resort to restraining and taping the mouth of the woman, whose comments were allegedly racist and vulgar in nature.
