The viral video of an incident on American Eagle flight 4392, operated by Republic Airways on January 31 2023, originally posted to TikTok by user Graham Nancarrow and has since been taken down but reuploaded on X/Twitter by Ian Miles Cheong.
The American passenger complained to a man sitting behind her: “The whole trip she pushed my seat.
“You’ve seen it. You know she did.”
The other woman retaliates and shouts back: “I’m allowed to put my seat back!”
The 12 second clip has been vides more than 15m times.
In a statement, an American Airlines spokesperson said: “We are aware of a customer dispute that transpired on American Eagle flight 4392, operated by Republic Airways on January 31.
“The safety and comfort of our customers and team members is our top priority, and our team is looking into the issue.”
