DRAMATIC footage shows the moment a furious flight attendant let loose at a rude passenger after he allegedly made her co-workers cry over a meal request.
The female air hostess was captured screaming “I am your not servant” as she erupted into a passionate rant on a flight from Istanbul to New Delhi.
In a clip shared on Twitter, the woman was seen explaining why the passenger’s request couldn’t be carried out onboard the IndiGo service before a shouting match ensued.
“Stop pointing your finger at me and yelling at me, my crew is crying because of you,” the unnamed airline worker could be heard saying.
“You cannot talk to the crew like that,” she added as she was joined by a second crew member.
“Please try to understand,” the latter added, as they explained “There is a cart and counted meals are uplifted [on the plane].”
“Why are you yelling?” the rude passenger fired back.
“I am so sorry, sir, but you cannot talk to the crew like that. I’m literally listening to you with all due respect, but you have to respect the crew as well,” the woman then replied.
The passenger then proceeded to tells her to “shut up,” as the flight attendant replies “You shut up!”
“I am an employee. I am not your servant,” she screamed in anger, before walking away from the confrontation.
According to local broadcaster NTDV, the fiasco erupted after the passenger asked for a sandwich and was told by the crew that they had to make sure one was available.
Its is unclear whether the issue was resolved.
In a statement provided by Indian journalist Tarun Shukla, a company spokesman said: “We are aware of the incident that took place on flight 6E 12 from Istanbul to Delhi on December 16, 2022.
“The issue was related to meals chosen by certain passengers traveling via a codeshare connection.
