Centrum Air Comments on Passenger Removal from Samara-Tashkent Flight

An incident occurred on October 5 during boarding for flight C6468. The reason for the comment was a statement by a blogger on social media that he was not allowed on board after asking a flight attendant to communicate with him in Uzbek. According to the airline, the man behaved aggressively, insulted the employee, crudely made demands and interfered with her work, which could have created a threat to safety and order. In this regard, the commander of the aircraft made the decision to remove him from the flight. The carrier also emphasized that the flight attendants speak Uzbek, Russian and English.

Centrum Air stated that the circumstances of the incident are documented, and the company is considering the possibility of contacting law enforcement agencies. The passenger reported that he had bought a ticket to Moscow for a subsequent flight to Uzbekistan and intends to contact the embassy of the country in Russia.
