A Frontier Airlines passenger was removed from a plane after a dispute over the exit row. The incident, captured on TikTok, showed the woman arguing with other passengers, a flight attendant, and a pilot. Aviation laws mandate that exit row passengers must be able to assist in emergencies and follow crew instructions.
In the video shared by Travel With Tia, the woman initially refused to help others in case of an emergency, but later changed her mind. Despite her change of heart, the crew decided to have her removed from the plane. The pilot announced that law enforcement would address the situation, leading to the woman’s removal in handcuffs.
Various aviation laws govern seating in the exit row to ensure safety. Passengers must be physically capable of assisting others during evacuations and communicating essential information orally to fellow passengers. Compliance with crew instructions regarding seating restrictions is also mandated by law.
Frontier Airlines did not provide immediate comments regarding the incident. The video highlighted the importance of following aviation regulations and cooperating with crew instructions to maintain passenger safety.
