The Chinese woman had complained on social media that she was harassed by the couple seated behind her on a Cathay flight after reclining her seat.
The Hong Kong flag carrier said on Sunday that it had added the couple to its no-fly list, saying it has "a strict zero-tolerance policy" towards behaviours that disrespect fellow passengers.
The Chinese woman's post on social media platform Xiaohongshu, which captured part of the confrontation, had garnered 194,000 likes as of Monday morning and drawn mixed reactions online.
The incident took place on a flight from Hong Kong to London on 17 September.
