A passenger on a Frontier Airlines flight was “picked” off a plane by fellow passengers after a verbal altercation broke out before the plane took off.
A series of viral videos posted on social media detailed the altercation between a couple, another passenger and a flight attendant when the plane was grounded at Trenton Mercer Airport in New Jersey last week. The flight to Atlanta allegedly took off because the couple had argued with a flight attendant for a seat.
Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle comments on reports that airfares for the 2022 holiday season will be the most expensive in five years, claiming planes to “Maria Bartiromos Wall Street” will be “sold out”.
However, another passenger reportedly interfered and upset the couple. Why the other passenger interfered is unclear.
Frontier Airlines officials did not respond to FOX Business’s request for comment.

The footage shows crew members standing next to the couple, waiting to escort them off the plane.
“The fact that you’re asking us to disembark is ridiculous,” the woman said, according to the flight attendant’s video. “He literally did nothing wrong.”

“If you can hear me and want her removed from the plane, raise your hand. I’m not even joking,” he said. “I have 40 hands up.”
The passenger was then seen removing her bag from the overhead locker and being escorted off the plane by a crew member.
