Police arrested the man in question upon landing, per local police. The unidentified suspect ultimately confessed to opening the door. However, he did not give a motive for why.

Han Jae Min, a spokesperson for the airline, shared a statement with NBC News.

“The male passenger who sat next to the emergency exit door that opened said that he was tinkering with the handle and that he opened the door. He is currently being questioned by the police and we understand that he told the police that he opened the door.”

At the time of the incident, the plane was roughly 700 feet above the ground. Additionally, the flight was two to three minutes from landing in Seoul.

Aviation Experts Baffled At How The Man Could Have Opened Airplane Door Mid-Flight

Aviation experts are baffled about how the man could have opened the door mid-flight. Geoffrey Thomas of Airline Ratings described the incident as “very bizarre,” as per CNN.

“Technically, it’s not possible to open those doors in flight. It seems implausible that the door could be opened in the first place and then against the airstream technically impossible, but somehow or another it has happened.”

No abnormalities were found on the aircraft following a maintenance check-up by a safety supervisor.

However, Asiana Airlines explained to CNN that the door could be opened when the altitude is low and close to landing, as was in Friday’s case.

“The airplane is automatically set to adjust the pressure of the cabin according to the altitude of the aircraft. When the aircraft is high up in the air, it is impossible to open the door but when the altitude is low and close to landing, the door can be opened.”

Video shows winds whipping through the plane’s cabin as passengers hugged their armrests. However, company officials confirmed to CNN that the plane ultimately landed safely.
