Hong Kong Airlines flight attendants are learning Wing Chun Kung Fu as part of their training programme so that  they can better handle  drunken and abusive passengers. Wing Chun Kung Fu is a close in fighting system and can be used effectively in the cramped space of a commercial plane. According to the company’s Vice President of corporate communications,  three times a week there is a disruptive passenger during in-flight service. Flight attendants said that before taking this course they did not know how they would respond to an aggressive passenger.  After learning Wing Chun, they are more confident that they can protect themselves, and have an enhanced  sense of security.
