A LATAM passenger caused a disturbance at Bogotá’s El Dorado International Airport after being denied boarding. The incident occurred when the man arrived at the boarding gate late and was prevented from boarding the flight.

In a shocking display of aggression, the man attacked airport staff at the boarding gate and managed to reach the access ramp leading to the aircraft. When confronted with the closed plane door, he proceeded to punch and kick the aircraft.

Video footage of the incident shows the man shouting “Get me inside” through the plane window while repeatedly kicking the aircraft. The aggressive behavior sparked immediate concern among passengers and airport staff.

Passengers on a Latam flight from Bogotá to Cartagena experienced moments of shock when a man who was late to board, upon realizing that the door was already closed, began hitting the window and the left passenger entry door of the aircraft.

The incident has raised questions about airport security protocols and the need for measures to prevent such aggressive behavior. The airline and airport authorities are likely to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
