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.

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.
