Dramatic footage has emerged showing the moment a routine flight from Colombia's capital descended into chaos when a heated argument over seats turned physical.
Mid-Air Mayhem
The altercation occurred at Bogotá's El Dorado International Airport as passengers boarded an undisclosed flight. What began as a verbal disagreement about seating arrangements quickly escalated into a violent confrontation, with multiple travellers joining the melee.
Eyewitness videos show:
- Passengers throwing punches across aircraft seats
- Cabin crew attempting to separate combatants
- Shocked onlookers recording the incident on phones
Airport Security Intervenes
Airport authorities were forced to intervene as the brawl threatened to delay the flight's departure. Security personnel boarded the aircraft to de-escalate the situation and remove the most aggressive individuals involved.
Aviation experts warn that such incidents are becoming increasingly common, with 'air rage' cases rising sharply since pandemic travel restrictions lifted.
The Aftermath
While no serious injuries were reported, the incident caused significant disruption. The airline has yet to comment on whether any passengers faced legal consequences or travel bans as a result of their behaviour.
