Hong Kong Airlines is asking its flight crews to learn a form of kung fu, something the carrier hopes will help its staff deal with drunk and unruly passengers.
The form kung fu is wing chun a style which is "easy" to use in small, confined spaces. It relies on biomechanics & not brute force. I have studied it for a few years.

For confined spaces like an airplane, an art like wing chun, FMA trapping, or Aikido would be more appropriate. You need to limit/neutralize the aggressor's movement "without using too much force".

Karate isn't about using force. Karate also does self-defending. I trained karate

But remember we not talking "fighting" someone, this is about neutralizing someone in small confined quarters; a bathroom, small walkway, between seats, etc, - places where you only have inches to move. Will karate be appropriate for that?
You do not want to get into a "combat" situation with someone (leading to lawsuits) - you want to "limit" their movements.
Styles like wing chun, FMA grappling, Aikido, Krav Maga and the likes are more suited for that.
In addition to Wing Chun, I also studied Tae kwon do and also did some Muay Thai so I know a little about the subject and the difference. Right now I am into tai chi chuan and about to take up yoga - I find these two "arts" are great for relaxation & exercising.

You are correct KFC, wing chun can be used in a phone booth.If you studied it then I assume you are familiar with "wooden man 108" ? and "sticking hands"?

There are 108 movements for the Wooden Man.
Sticking hands is the necessary step in learning the fighting principles of Wing Chun.
Check out the movements in 1:07

Very true KFC and I can say if you spend some time every day hitting a wooden dummy after a while hitting a human feels like hitting a pillow.I always thought of wing chun as more of a science than martial art.The Science of Economy of Motion.You know it was founded by a woman.
