About an hour after the plane took off, the flight attendant discovered a male passenger smoking in the restroom near the cockpit. The passenger was later ticketed and fined 3 million VND.

Smoking on the plane will be fined up to 5 million VND

The incident just happened on VietJet Air flight VJ 8631 from Vinh to Ho Chi Minh City. The passenger who violated the law was Truong Huu H. (30 years old), from Nghe An.

According to information from the flight crew of VJ 8631, before takeoff, the flight attendant announced that passengers were not allowed to smoke on the plane, including electronic cigarettes. If passengers violated the rule, they would be administratively punished according to the law.

However, about an hour after the plane took off, the flight attendant discovered that passenger Truong Huu H. had gone into the restroom at the front of the plane, near the cockpit, to smoke a cigarette.

Immediately afterwards, Captain Darko Drva asked the chief flight attendant to make a record of the passenger's violation, signed by the violator and witnesses, and transfer it to the Airport Authority for handling according to the law.

Due to his sincere attitude of admitting his mistake and cooperating well with the authorities during the administrative violation handling process, passenger Truong Huu H. had his fine reduced to 3 million VND compared to the highest level of 5 million VND.
