Singapore Airlines A350 returns to San Francisco after passenger disturbance

An Airbus A350‑900 operating Singapore Airlines flight SQ32 left San Francisco at 12:49 and was forced to turn back over the Pacific about four hours later because of an aggressive passenger, landing back at 20:32 after a total flight time of seven hours and 43 minutes.

Security forces removed the passenger, who allegedly shouted, kicked seats and tried to reach an emergency exit, and the airline arranged a replacement crew so the same aircraft departed again at 23:49 under flight number SQ9031.
