AVIATION

26 November 2021: Minneapolis, Minnesota

Fights broke out between multiple passengers at Minneapolis airport after a flight landed on Friday 26 November. The incident occurred just before midnight, after a Frontier Airlines flight landed and parked at the gate. The violent outburst, which took place at the airport’s terminal 2, was caught on camera and shared on social media. Around twelve men and women who were on the flight were involved in the kerfuffle after two large groups of travelers deplaned from a Frontier Airlines flight just before midnight Friday, said Patrick Hogan, spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Punches were exchanged among several people and some of them threw stanchions and broke chairs, Hogan said. Airport police responded to the scene in less than two minutes and Bloomington police were also present in baggage claim to help, Hogan said.
