The crowd decided: Passengers on this flight voted to remove fellow traveler, videos show

 Travelers on a Frontier Airlines flight to Atlanta apparently took an unruly passenger incident into their own hands Monday, voting to remove a guest who had a confrontation with fellow flyers.

A series of TikTok videos appear to show two women on a flight from Trenton-Mercer Airport in New Jersey to Atlanta shouting at one another before one of the women, and a man next to her, are escorted off the plane by what looks like ground crew members. Another traveler then calls for the other passengers to weigh in on whether the second woman who appeared to argue with the pair should be removed.

“If you can hear me, raise your hand if you want her removed from the flight,” he said in the clip, while hands nearby shoot up, before she was escorted off as well.

Frontier and Trenton-Mercer Airport did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment.

In a subsequent video, the TikTok user, @lanaisli, explained that the man and woman were a couple, and he had been thrown off the flight after they argued with a flight attendant over a seat. The videos have collectively racked up more than 16 million views as of Friday.

The incident comes after multiple others involving disruptive flyers, including a United Airlines flight to Tel Aviv, Israel that turned around hours into its journey due to a disruptive passenger last month.

The rate of unruly-passenger incidents has decreased more than 80% after hitting record highs in 2021, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency received 2,455 reports of unruly passengers in 2022, dropping from 5,973 the year before.
