Passengers rush onto tarmac after flight delay

More than 30 disgruntled passengers whose flights had been delayed rushed onto the tarmac of the Kunming Changshui International Airport in Yunnan province on Monday morning in an attempt to board a plane.

The passengers were upset after their flights were delayed for more than 10 hours due to thunderstorms.

Dai Bing, a staff member of West Air, the Chongqing-based airline at the center of the dispute, said the passengers were scheduled to leave for Chongqing at 11:55 pm on Sunday, but their flight was delayed due to bad weather.
