KUWAIT, CITY, Aug 10: The Court of Cassation upheld a lower court ruling that refrained from punishing two Kuwaiti women convicted of assaulting and insulting security personnel on board a Kuwait Airways flight. The incident prompted the pilot to return to Bangkok Airport to ensure passenger and crew safety. Case details revealed that a verbal altercation between the two women and the flight crew escalated into physical and verbal abuse against the onboard security team. Although the court found their actions a disturbance of order and safety aboard the aircraft, it considered the surrounding circumstances sufficient to issue a conviction without enforcing a custodial sentence. The court also upheld the acquittal of a third woman who was implicated in the same case. Testimonies and investigation results confirmed she neither took part in the altercation nor exhibited misconduct toward the crew or security personnel.
