This particular article doesn't name the airline but seems it was probably Air Canada flight 33?

The man was stopped and moved to another seat where the crew watched him for the rest of the (long) flight to Sydney.

Passenger pulled man away from plane door as he tried to open it, police say

Earlier this month, the 33-year-old attempted to open an emergency exit while on an international flight headed to Sydney, the AFP has alleged.

On the Channel 7 news they said it was Air Canada. but it was also said he was seen approaching the door by another passenger who got up and alerted the crew.

I guess if he had opened the door there would not have even been a fine.

True - but there would have been a whole lot of mayhem...

I guess if he had opened the door there would not have even been a fine.

Not to mention near impossible, thanks to the air pressure.
