Frontier Airlines Flight Attendant Wrestles Passenger After She Tries to Open Exit Door

A Frontier Airlines flight attendant tussled with a passenger after she tried to open the plane’s exit door. Footage of the brawl shows a woman in a gray hoodie yelling for staff to open the door after Flight 2052 from New Orleans to Atlanta landed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Wednesday. A flight attendant then wraps his arms around her and pushes her back, while she shouts, “Open the door!” Another passenger yells, “Don’t put your hands on her!” The viral TikTok video is captioned “@Frontier Airlines in ATL COUNT Your Days !!!!!” Temperatures in the Airbus A321’s cabin had allegedly reached unbearable levels after a broken jet bridge trapped passengers on board without air conditioning, the New York Post reported. “After 30 mins of sitting there with no air or water or light, one of the ladies started hyperventilating, passing out, and her body was shaking, completely unresponsive and they still wouldn’t open the door,” the TikTok poster wrote in a comment. The airline issued a statement apologizing for the “inconvenience and discomfort” but said flight attendants were just trying to keep passengers safe after the jet bridge malfunctioned.
