Who’s flying this thing?!
That’s what an Egyptian woman asked herself last year when her flight home from New York got so turbulent she was thrown about the cabin of the plane — and she saw the pilot running back to the cockpit.
Randa Mahmud, 39, was bound for Cairo on an EgyptAir flight in August when the plane was hit with extreme turbulence, according to her Brooklyn federal court suit against the airline.
Passengers were “thrown about the cabin . . . and even into the interior ceiling and bulkheads within,” she says of the Aug. 31, 2015, flight.
“At the time of the foregoing . . . the pilot of said aircraft did not even occupy the cockpit . . . and was observed running toward the cockpit,” Mahmud claims.
The married mother of four was in the United States visiting family and needed spinal surgery after the tumultuous flight, said her lawyer, Eric Gottfried.
Mahmud is seeking unspecified damages. EgyptAir did not return messages.
