China Southern Flight 6901 took off at 10:35, bound for Beijing. About 40 minutes into the flight, a 19-year old woman opened some cans and tried to start a fire in a toilet. She was arrested by air marshallers. The pilot diverted to Lanzhou.
The state-controlled Global Times newspaper reported that the woman carried petrol through a business class security check at Diwopu International Airport in Urumqi. The fuel was concealed in drink cans and mixed with fragrance to hide the smell.
