A passenger on a Frontier Airlines flight was “voted” off the plane by fellow passengers after a verbal altercation broke out before the plane took off.
A series of viral videos posted on social media described the altercation between a couple, another passenger and a flight attendant while the plane was on the ground at Trenton Mercer Airport in New Jersey last week. The flight, bound for Atlanta, reportedly started because the couple argued with a flight attendant over a seat.
Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle is weighing in on reports that airfares for the 2022 holiday season will be the most expensive in five years, claiming flights will “sell out”[ads1]; on “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street.”
However, another passenger reportedly got involved and started antagonizing the couple. It is unclear why the other passenger became involved.
Representatives for Frontier Airlines did not respond to FOX Business’ request for comment.

The footage shows crew members standing by the couple waiting to escort them off the plane.
“The fact that you’re asking us to get off is ridiculous,” the woman told the flight attendant, according to the video. “He has literally done nothing wrong.”

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