Chinese airline Luck Air sues passenger who threw 1 Yuan coins into plane engine for good luck and causing the flight to be cancelled The superstitious man was travelling with his wife and one-year-old child and was hoping for a safe journey when he threw the coins while boarding on the tarmac at Anqing Tianzhushan Airport, Anqing police said in a statement. The man was detained by authorities for seven days after the coins were found on the ground near the engine during the pre-flight check. 'The incident caused a direct economic loss of nearly 140,000 yuan, and our company will press charges against the passenger in accordance with the law,' Lucky Air said in its statement. The engine of an aircraft would be severely damaged or even destroyed if a coin is sucked into it, according to a professor at Civil Aviation University of China cited by China Daily. This is not the first time a Chinese passenger has attempted to toss coins into an aircraft engine for good fortune and a safe flight. In June 2017, an 80-year-old woman threw her change at a China Southern Airlines flight at Shanghai Pudong Airport to pray for a safe flight, causing a five-hour delay and one million yuan in damages. She was not charged due to her age. Several months later in the same year, a 76-year-old woman flung several coins into the engine of a Lucky Air flight, also Kunming-bound from Anqing. She was detained but not charged. Luck Air urged passengers to comply with civil aviation laws and regulations and avoid behaviour that could prove detrimental to the safety of passengers. 'Not only does tossing coins not give you good luck, it will endanger aviation safety and land you in detention. You could be fined and prosecuted,' the airline warned.
