Passengers on a Latam flight and officials from the DGAC (DireçãoGeral de Aeronáutica Civil, in Portuguese) were involved in a general fight on a Latam plane last Monday (20). The beatings, which took place at Antofagasta airport, came after a group of drunks refused to get off the plane.
There were at least 15 drunks making annoying noises, said a passenger who witnessed the fight.

The group of Chileans was asked by a flight attendant to get off the plane. DGAC officers boarded the plane to expel the rioters as the confusion began.

A total of four people were arrested.
“Given this situation, two people were initially arrested and made available to the carabineros [polícia local]. And at that moment, employees of the DGAC noticed two other subjects who would also have been involved in the incidents. As a result, four people were arrested in connection with the incidents, one of whom received minor injuries. Meanwhile, DGAC personnel suffered six injuries, all minor,” Latam said in a statement.
