Flight KA875 took off from Shanghai at 6.30pm (9.30am AEDT) on Sunday with 252 passengers on board but was diverted to nearby Shenzhen airport when Hong Kong was deluged by rain and hail.

A power failure stopped the flight from continuing on to its intended destination when conditions improved, and passengers were forced to stay on the tarmac for seven hours, a spokeswoman for Cathay Pacific, which owns Dragonair, told AFP.

“The initial plan was to re-depart to Hong Kong as soon as the weather condition allowed ... regrettably, the delay was further extended when there were technical problems with the aircraft’s auxiliary power unit,’’ the spokeswoman said in a written statement.

“We sincerely apologise that as Shenzhen is not an operating port for Dragonair, the deplaning process (took) longer than expected because of constraints in local ground handling and immigration clearance,’’ she said.

The stranded passengers were left with little food and water, leading some to shout at the flight crew while others were restrained from leaving by attendants guarding the cabin door, the South China Morning Post reported.

A “special clearance’’ was obtained Monday morning to let passengers alight, some 11 hours after departure.

****. I'm surprised the "arrogant" passengers didn't knock out the flight crew and open up the hatches to use the emergency evacuation slides.

Longest time I was ever stuck during rerouting (decades ago) was about an hour inside the plane on the tarmac. Can't imagine spending several...

Betcha they didn't let the passengers off because it would have cost them money they weren't authorized to spend to call for a skybridge...

Furious passengers were forced to spend the night on a grounded plane with little food and water after it was diverted from Hong Kong to Shenzhen due to Sunday's violent storms.

The Dragonair flight from Shanghai, with around 250 passengers and 15 crew on board, was due to land in Hong Kong just after 9.30pm on Sunday. Bad weather forced pilots to divert the plane to nearby Shenzhen.

But on the tarmac, the passengers were barred from leaving as the airport's terminals were already full of stranded passengers.

Angry passengers yelled at crew, who had to spend the night guarding the plane's doors to stop them trying to break out.

At around 7am the the passengers were allowed into Bao'an International Airport, but told to make their own way to Hong Kong.

"We were told to … find our own way to Hong Kong without any travel allowance," one traveller said. Organisers of two large tour groups faced a logistical nightmare as they tried to find transport back to Hong Kong.

It was worse for the crew on board. As late as 2pm yesterday, 15 crew members remained in the plane.

"They have only one 1.5 litre bottle of water to share among them," said a crew member's friend. "They are being told they cannot leave the plane unattended and have to wait for replacement pilots."

They arrived back in Hong Kong only at 8.30pm last night.

A Dragonair spokeswoman said the company "sincerely apologises for the inconvenience caused to our customers".

She said local immigration and customs requirements did not allow passengers off the plane and the delay was extended by technical problems with the aircraft.

Those illiterates should really start to learn English and proper manners before they get out of China. They're causing too much trouble all over the world. Sa Egypt naman, nag-vandalize ng 3500-year old na archaeological artifact.

It's not Cebu Pacific Pilots' fault that their country is covered with smog. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why MH370 crashed is because the chinks attacked the pilots. lol

Their cavemen behaviour is the reason why even people of Hong Kong hate mainlanders.
