Woman Claims ‘False Imprisonment’ On ‘Burning Hot’ Plane: ‘We Were Melting’
August 23, 2017
A New Mexico woman aboard an Allegiant Air called an extended delay on the tarmac at the Albuquerque International Sunport last week “false imprisonment” in extreme conditions.
Celena Kwitkowski alleged that passengers were held Thursday for well over three hours on a hot plane without water or lavatory access. The airline said the incident resulted from a “minor mechanical issue” as well as “an altercation between passengers.”
