This is the dramatic moment cabin crew wrestled with fans trying to reach a pop star in business class.

Supporters attempted to storm the executive class cabin of Xiamen Airlines flight MF8330 in an attempt to meet the Chinese actor Tian Xu Ning.

Footage shows a group of passengers crowding around the curtain separating economy from business class while three flight attendants repeatedly pull the drapes shut.

The crew can be heard urging the individuals to sit down as they were about to land on July 8.

One of them even said: 'Don't squeeze forward, the plane hasn't stopped yet.'

A passenger said the celebrity, seated in 11L, remained silent throughout the disturbance during the flight from Changsha to Fuzhou.

In a separate encounter, Tian Xu Ning was reportedly confronted and harassed by fans during a flight, who accused him of having a girlfriend and child.

The incident triggered widespread public criticism and a strong response from his agency, which denied the claims and condemned the behaviour.

Yang Mei, deputy director of Hunan Zhongyi Law Firm, said: 'Obstructing the crew and blocking the cabin passage can be considered disrupting public order under China's Regulations on Public Security Administration Punishments.

'Fans could face warnings, fines up to 200 CNY (20.50 GBP), or detention of 5–10 days in serious cases. If their actions endanger flight safety, criminal charges may also apply. Airlines can also blacklist disruptive passengers and restrict future travel.'

Tian Xu Ning, also known as Tian Lei, 27, gained overnight fame for his role as Chi Cheng in the 2025 popular BL drama 'Revenged Love'.
