Indonesian Pilot Attacks Turkish Airlines Cabin Crew While Traveling Off-Duty
The pilot for Batik Air has been identified by Indonesia’s Lion Air Group as the passenger who reportedly attacked Turkish Airlines flight attendants
On his Monday Turkish Airlines trip, Muhammad John Jaiz Boudewijn was returning from a vacation in Turkey when he got into a physical argument with the flight crew.
The incident forced the pilot to make an emergency landing, and after being assaulted by other passengers and being hit by a flight attendant who was attempting to restrain the aggressive pilot, the pilot sustained injuries. A Lion Air Group representative told Voi.id that the airline will not intervene because the pilot was on business.

The conflict, not booze as witnesses claimed, was brought on by a dog in the cabin, according to a statement made by the pilot. His behavior aboard the Turkish Airlines flight did not surprise a coworker who wished to stay anonymous.
They claimed the pilot is dangerous since he is renowned for imposing his religious views on other crew members and for having issues with the junior crew. They claimed that the pilot was responsible for previous flight delays by refusing to fly with a co-pilot who did not adhere to his religious convictions.
