Violent Attack on a Flybondi Worker Due to Flight Delays

In a heated argument with two passengers, an employee of the travel company was assaulted.

This Tuesday, Ezeiza International Airport was the scene of a tense situation that ended in physical assaults on employees of the company Flybondi. The protagonists of the incident are a couple who arrived at the airport late and were unable to check in for their flight.

The multiple videos recorded by other passengers who witnessed the event went viral, and it was clearly seen how  the woman and the man, very angry, demanded that the company's employees let them board the plane. In the heated discussion, they completely denied their late arrival at the airport and expressed that they had been waiting for the flight for two days. The situation quickly escalated in violence, and both pushed the employee who wouldn't let them board the flight.

Due to the incident, the airline Flybondi, which is publicly known to have the worst punctuality record for its flights, issued a statement condemning the behavior of the passengers involved in the altercation.

Furthermore, it was announced that they filed a complaint against the aggressors, and in addition, they will not be allowed to travel again on their low-cost airline, as they will apply the right of admission.

In the video shared by users, the passengers can be seen with their bags in hand, arguing heatedly with the airport staff, who are trying to explain to them that it is no longer possible to board due to the time they arrived.

While everyone expected the situation to end at that moment, it did not. The couple ignored the employee's explanations and pushed her, shouting: "Shut up. We've been here for two days." The situation became tense, and when another worker joined to try to contain the couple, the woman threatened her: "Shut up, or I'll break your head." At that moment, the aggressor violently threw punches.

The worker's response was: "What's wrong with you? How are you going to hit me?" Her colleagues arrived, trying to contain her so she wouldn't approach the couple again, and that's when she turned to them and said to the woman: "You arrived late." After this final scene, the video ends.
