Twenty-two fans of a Chinese artist were denied boarding after pursuing the performer through restricted areas of Suvarnabhumi Airport before a Thai Airways flight to Beijing. Thai Airways staff requested assistance from airport security officers, who escorted the group out of the lounge. Thai Airways staff then temporarily closed the aircraft door to prevent fans who had not completed boarding checks from entering. According to Suvarnabhumi Airport, those passengers expressed dissatisfaction with the decision to deny boarding and allegedly provoked security personnel during the operation. Suvarnabhumi Airport said it will review the incident and improve its procedures to prevent similar incidents.
