A Cathay Pacific plane bound for Bangkok, Thailand, was delayed from taking off from Hong Kong's international airport after drama ensued during boarding.

An unidentified passenger from Hong Kong who was trying to find space to stow his luggage was displeased that configuration of the new A350 aircraft meant there weren't any lockers above his seat.

Despite flight attendants telling him that they'd find storage space for him elsewhere, the passenger refused to believe them.

He then tries to open a panel but then rips the roof panel open with his bare hands, determined to find the space for his luggage. All he was met with was a gaping hole and shock from his fellow passengers.

An unimpressed passenger on the flight took a picture of the damage and posted it on his Facebook on Wednesday:

With the ceiling panel ripped open and left hanging, the airline had no choice but to empty the plane of all 300 passengers and get its engineers to repair the damage.

It took roughly three hours before passengers including the culprit were let back onboard, and for the plane to take off for its intended southeast Asian destination.

Cathay Pacific has decided not to to take any action on the passenger.

Lately, incidents where passengers mistakenly open the plane's emergency exit door have been cropping up, but this is the first Hulk-like encounter we've come across. Hopefully, the offender will listen to what the cabin crew has to say in future and be more willing to part with his carry-on for the duration of his flight.
