"I have to get off this plane immediately." Scene from a film on an Iberia flight departing from Turin Caselle and heading to Madrid.

As reported by Corriere della Sera, a passenger excitedly asked the steward and hostess to be allowed to disembark, when the aircraft was already in the taxiing phase, with the engines running, ready for take-off manoeuvres. He had received a call from his girlfriend, who ultimately asked him not to leave.

“Stop everything, I have to get down, I have to get down,” he shouted. And the hostesses, busy explaining the safety measures, satisfied him after a few phone calls. Also because the man could do it: «Everything happened in complete tranquility - they explain from Sagat, the company that manages the Turin airport -. Obviously this requires timing. Since it was his right, the passenger was not fined ."

The plane was then able to leave, arriving in Madrid with an hour's delay and arousing some complaints from the other passengers.
