Homesick? Belarusians pick fight at Kyiv Airport over plane


Passengers have had a row at Kyiv Airport on Friday.

As the airliner, which was expected to fly to Sharm el-Sheikh, broke, it was replaced by another plane. But a group of passengers knew that the latter was to have flown to Minsk, Espreso.tv reports.

Some outraged citizens of Belarus, who tried to prevent passengers from boarding the plane to Egypt, picked a fight.

Police officers arrived on the scene, but as the conflict was unfolding in the transit zone, they had to watch through the window glasses, being unable to intervene.

Border guards were called to the scene. The both flights were delayed.
