Woman Attacks Emirates Staff After Being Denied Boarding Over Expired Passport
Woman Attacks Emirates Staff After Being Denied Boarding Over Expired Passport
After being denied boarding in Mexico City, a “rebellious” passenger who was trying to travel with an invalid passport had a tantrum and then attacked a member of the Emirates staff.
An observer’s bizarre video shows a woman at the check-in counter at Terminal 1 of Mexico City’s Benito Juárez International Airport. She attempted to check in after the limit and handed in a passport that had expired, according to Emirates.
She became enraged after learning she wouldn’t be able to travel, charged behind the counter, and assaulted a member of the check-in personnel. She then ascended a check-in counter, grabbed the monitor above the desk, and shouted.
The woman was screaming on a check-in desk and airport staff were trying to calm her down. As the local police arrived at the airport, she was ultimately detained by security.
Emirates said in a statement, “We can confirm that on November 1, an incident occurred at the check-in desk at Mexico City International Airport, in which a late-arriving customer at the check-in counter was also found to be travelling with an expired passport.
“When the client was told that she couldn’t go, she became irrational and aggressive with the ground employees, necessitating the intervention of airport security and the police. We place a high priority on and won’t compromise on maintaining the safety of both our passengers and crew “the airline said.

When Ratan Tata was denied entry to the airfield at the Aero India show, he waited
During our visit to Aero India 2019, we had the unexpected opportunity to see Ratan Tata at the event, which was a thrilling moment for us. However, there was a surprising hiccup when the security staff didn’t allow him to enter due to a lack of a security pass.
Despite this, he remained calm and patiently waited for about 20 minutes until a member of the Tata team brought him the required pass, after which he calmly proceeded inside. It was a humbling sight, showcasing his composed demeanor even in such situations.
Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.
His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
