Woman faints at Fuzhou airport for hunger strike over on-board food

Update:02 Sep 2010
An air passenger who refused to eat the food provided by an airline following a flight delay fainted at the Fuzhou International Airport in Fujian province on Aug 29.
 
The China West Air flight, scheduled to fly from Fuzhou to Southwest China's Chongqing municipality on Aug 28, was delayed by nearly five hours due to a technical snag.
 
Three passengers, including the woman, were not satisfied with the airline's damage control measures, which included 200 yuan as compensation.
 
The woman, along with the two other protesting passengers, waited at the airport till daybreak for a better deal and refused to eat the food offered by the airline, complaining the meal was too bad to digest.
 
She subsequently dropped unconscious, and after receiving medical aid, was sent to a nearby hotel to rest.
 
The three passengers finally agreed to board another plane to Chongqing, which departed a couple of hours later.
