She missed her flight and was ready to fight.
Pushing, kicking and shouting are the typical makings of a temper tantrum — those emotional outbursts often exhibited by teething tots.
But an enraged adult woman at Mexico City International Airport, in Mexico, recently threw a hissy fit of epic — and possibly criminal — proportions after arriving late to her flight gate and being denied entry onto an Aeromexico aircraft.
Startling footage of the unnamed traveler, donning a flowy white skirt and top, brownish blazer and black fanny pack, shows her shoving security staffers upon being barred from the plane, per Creatorzine.com.
The would-be passenger allegedly reached her gate at 5:27 p.m., seven minutes after the flight’s scheduled 5:20 p.m. departure. The boarding process had already concluded, and airline personnel reportedly refused to resume it despite the hothead’s demands.
Representatives for Aeromexico did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for a comment.
Neither the airline nor the airport authorities have issued an official statement regarding the incident.
Airport authorities, however, have confirmed that security protocols were followed to ensure the safety of other passengers and staff during the disruption, according to reports.
The explosive episode is all the rage online, making the blowup a trending topic across social media.
“Ridiculous old hag!,” a digital detractor tweeted, labeling the woman with the epithet, similar to other X users who called her a “f- -king idiot” and “a dumbass.”
“Where are the police?” a stunned spectator wondered aloud. “There are rules that must be respected. The airline workers don’t have to put up with [this], and expose themselves to physical harm.”
“Why do they allow this kind of maniac to assault the staff?” a separate onlooker asked. “Apply the law as it should be and ban her from traveling on that airline. Arrest her and fine her.”
Unruly behavior, such as that displayed by the livid lady, certainly does not fly in the US
In fact, the Federal Aviation Administration recently established a “zero tolerance” policy vowing to pursue legal enforcement action against unhinged passengers who “assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with” airline employees.
A California man, 33, was federally charged after allegedly attacking two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers and seriously injuring a Dallas police officer at Dallas Love Field Airport last month.
He faces up to 20 years in prison for the offense.
Jordan Langston, 25, was arrested and charged with interference with flight crew members and attendants after allegedly punching a flight attendant in the face on a plane en route to Salt Lake City, Utah, in December.
He was ordered to remain behind bars pending trial, with a judge citing substance abuse and potential mental health issues.
It remains unclear whether the Aeromexico passenger will face any legal action, fines or bans.
