A packed Frontier Airlines plane had to divert after two women began brawling in mid-air – with one of the aggressors also threatening other passengers.
Shocking footage captured the moment the women flew into a frenzy, screaming and yelling at each other while being physically restrained by other passengers.
Their antics caught the ire of those on board as frustrated travelers begged the women to ‘shut up’ and ‘get some class’, which only fueled their mania and led one to even strike a man on the head as she moved down the aisle.
After hours of attempts to calm them failed, Frontier Airlines flight 2143 from Philadelphia to Las Vegas was diverted to Denver so the women could be hauled off by police.

Passengers were seen on the shocking video loudly voicing their anger at the women after they erupted mid-flight.
It is unclear what caused the fracas to begin, with the footage opening on one of the fighters in a red tank top screaming at the top of her lungs while other passengers loudly shush her.
8NewsNow reported that the woman in red had fought with another woman she was sitting close to, and that woman had subsequently been moved to another part of the aircraft in a failed attempt to calm the drama.
As she grew more unhinged, the woman was seen swearing down the aisle of the plane while flailing her arms manically.
Another woman, who she appeared to be seated with, became embroiled in the situation, leading the two to berate each other.
Flight attendants made their way down the aisle several times to calm them down, with one flyer behind the footage heard saying the attendants had been down ‘multiple times’.
‘Just get your s*** together so we can get home,’ the passenger added, echoing the sentiments of a lot of those stuck on board.
At one moment, the woman in red aggressively confronted one of the attendants and shrieked in her face while still waving her arms around.
The brainless situation then escalated when she saw the moment being recorded, as she babbled incoherently down the aisle toward the passenger behind the camera.

Passengers sarcastically cheered as the women were hauled off the plane in Denver because they forced a diversion from Las Vegas
Another passenger was later seen physically restraining her with his arms, while the other woman hurled insults back down the plane.
The deranged incident was captured on camera by a Las Vegas resident returning from vacation, who said the flight flew out of control because of the antics.
‘It was fairly disruptive, so passengers began to tell them to shut up because their behavior was escalating,’ the woman, who chose to remain nameless told KLAS.
She claimed that the women, who appeared to be flying together, were told three times by the flight attendants to be quiet, before they eventually moved one of them to a different seat.
After being separated, however, the passenger said the women didn’t stop and they continued to verbally abuse each other from across the plane.
They added that it appeared a male passenger was hit in the head as one of the hostiles made her way to the bathroom, but this incident was not captured on film.
The footage concluded with the moment the women were hauled off the plane, where the tensions on board were evident as the woman in red tried to mock the other woman as she was escorted away.
After she said ‘get ’em out of here’, the packed plane immediately erupted, telling her to ‘shut the f*** up’ and loudly shushing her.
The Frontier Airlines flight was forced to divert because of the fracas, but it landed in Las Vegas just an hour after it was intended to
In a moment not caught on camera, it appears the woman kicked off one last time as she was being escorted away as other passengers sharply inhaled and exclaimed ‘oh my god’.
According to the person who filmed the incident, several other flyers also briefly departed the plane to give witness statements to police, who then told the FBI.
The flight was able to leave again and landed just an hour after its intended arrival, as the passenger added: ‘Luckily the Vegas-based Frontier crew was great.’
Causing a disturbance on a plane is a federal offence, however it is unclear whether any charges have been filed against the two women on board.
