Tarmac protests disgrace China's aviation industry
BEIJING - Flight delays due to inclement weather may be frustrating, but there isn't much one can do about them.

China's aviation regulator said it is probing two cases involving "ultra-emotional" behavior. Experts have said the chaotic management of China's aviation industry may be to blame for the country's chronic flight delays.
On April 11, 28 passengers waiting for a Shenzhen Airlines flight rushed onto a runway at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport to protest their treatment after their flight was delayed due to a thunderstorm.
